Need a Spot

My 89 3.0 began running extremely poorly today. there was a sudden loss of power., Max speed about 15 mph and difficulty starting accompanied by low muffled backfiring. no codes. I've checked for vacuum and air leaks and have compression tested 2,4 and 6 120 120 115 (280k) All i can think of is the timing belt may have jumped. Anyone ever experience this?
thanks.
