I have a 5D and 430ex II flash. The flash fires when i take picture but it seems to be firing too early before the shutter opens no matter how fast or slow my shutter is that's why in the photo there's no light from the flash, but when I set my flash to high speed sync and set my shutter speed to 200 or more it works perfect the light from the flash is in the photo. This only happens on my 5D my T1i and 430ex II works fine. What should i do? is my camera broken?

I shoot mine in M with a 1/10th shutter on ETTL with Last curtain sync, all the time.

Check your custom settings on the flash and the camera?
