Default Out of time? Need help!

Hey guys, newbie here, i normally dont use the web to fix my truck as most of it is a second nature, but im really stumped on this one and need some advice, so here lately my gas mileage has dropped tremendously, lack of power, and the idle dips anytime i put it in gear and its idling, seems kinda sluggish on accelleration too, i redid the timing chains and tensioner a few months back, and and it was in time when i did it, but the idling and mileage and low power issue hit all at once, could this have anything to do with timing, and if so, is there a way to check the timing without removing the cover, really need this on the road asap, thanks in advance guys
