In any case, if your engine has more than 70,000 miles on the timing belt, it needs a new one at once. HOwever, the slip you experienced is not supposed to have damaged anything as this engine is non-interference.
Going past 70,000 miles on the belt is looking for being stranded in the middle of nowhere...tested by many...some info: www.geocities.com/lmp4203/kiasport/TimingBelt.zip
Now,... having no torque below 4000 ...is just like mine. I'm sure you mean it is worse than before....any trouble code set?

no the only code it had was for bank 1 o2 sensor i change the belt about a year ago it probably jump because the belt stretch a little and the tensioner
on this cars suck but like i stated before timing marks are line up perfect
i have fuel and spark the 3 major thing for it to run i even did the grounds
