If the timing actually sounds like it's off then it likely skipped or broke the timing chain.
Fortunately not a huge job but in a MH it will be hard to get to.

Borrow a code ready from O'Reilly auto parts or auto zone.
Sounds like a crankshaft or cam shaft position sensor.
Test it first

Not to be a bearer of bad news but I think GM used to use phenolic timing gear sets that were known to fail.

Let a mechanic check it before you hit the panic button. Maybe it's something relatively simple and inexpensive.
