No codes, no check engine light

I didnt think you can touch the timing on the 2006 up civic
How would I go upon checking the timing?

If you havent touched the timing then its probably not your problem. I agree with the above sounds like the car is in limp mode. Dissconnect the battery for 20 mins or so and the rehook it and see what happens.
