Re: My Problem... yes that's right... again
^you don't have to have that cover, but why wouldn't you want it?
The manufacturer put it there for a reason, and thousands of cars have gone millions of miles(collectively) with them in place. I'm sure there are people who run without them, but that's putting the engine at more of a risk. The cover protects that belt, and your valvetrain (to some extent). I'd do things right the first time...

Re: My Problem... yes that's right... again
The problem you described in your other post I don't think would be related to the timing being off, because if it was, then the car would run like shit through the whole rpm range, not just for awhile and then take off like a raped ape. What exact problems are you having, because I'm willing to bet its a sensor of some type. And CELs?
You don't *need* to run with the timing belt cover, but I would recommend it. It protects the belts like mike said, and if you get a rock or stone, or something else caught in there, it could shred the TB to pieces, leaving you with a bunch of bent valves and a car that doesn't run.
