Yup check engine light has been on forever, had diagnostics done on it about 3 times. All three said timing chain.
Gotta run, I’ll be back, playing cards.

you could be looking at a new engine, if that crankshaft is fucked. if you don't think you can pull the motor and do it yourself, which considering the tools you'd have to buy unless you're already equipped might not even save you much money, you might be better off just driving it till it dies, depending on what the car is worth, and other financial considerations. i don't think you really know if the reluctor has moved until you get the timing cover off... which means you don't know if you just need a new chain and guides, or a whole crankshaft and gear rebuild, until you're balls deep in it.
you might want to see if it can possibly come out the top/front with a hoist if you remove the hood and front clip. you'd have to put blocks of wood or a jackstand under the transmission and seperate it in place, so you'd at the bare minimum have to get some big ass stands to put the car on so you can slide up under it to work. without a lift and a full pro tool cart and air tools, it will be a huge undertaking. make sure a woman is watching so you get your moneys worth. you can definitely do the timing chain with the motor halfway out, but not the crank if the reluctor moved. i'm guessing that the MIL logic sets the code when the waveform on the crank hall sensor starts changing shape indicating the chain is loose and the teeth are not quite in position.

something i forgot to mention is that while a shop or dealer may be 100% unwilling to ever do this… maybe you can just pound the old reluctor back into place if you do that chain yourself. MAYBE. it's possible.

You should edit if you can, if not send her a bill.

Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well-heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin, saying 'Keep on diggin''
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find, down in the pig mine?
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh, but you're really a cry
Bus-stop rat-bag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hatpin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh, but you're really a cry
Hey you, Whitehouse!
Ha, ha, charade you are
You house-proud town mouse
Ha, ha, charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
You got to stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary, you're nearly a treat
Mary you're nearly a treat, but you're really a cry
