If it's the emissions lamp thats on (picture of an engine bizzarely enough) then the catalytic convertor may be damaged.

If the cam timing isn't right, I'd have thought that could easily affect emissions.  There are lines on each of the cam sprockets that line up with lines on the front edge of the camcover, then (on our 2.0, guess it's same on 2.2) there's a notch in the crank pulley that lines up (at TDC) with a peg that sticks out from behind it.  Get all three of these marks right, and the cam timing is right.  :y
You can buy a plastic wedge for about a fiver that locks the two cam sprockets, which will make any adjustment much easier if you're DIYing it.
