Take the cover off and see if the timing marks ar still exactly lined up. If they are off, don't line them up; change the belt. If a timing belt stretches out, that;s just how it acts.

You need to find out what why the service light is on. It could be a cam or crank sensor. If those are bad the computer doesn't know when to fire the spark plug. Was the timing belt replace recently? It could be a coincident, but maybe the belt broke on the test drive. Was the engine light on during the test drive?
