Yes but it depends on whether its worth the trouble or not. Sometimes when the timing belt breaks it will cause the pistons to slam into the heads. this can be a very expensive fix

yes it is. if i only knew that then.... MAKE SURE that you get the timing belt changed or else it will take out half your engine when it goes. that's what happened to mine. it would have cost about $300 or less to have the timing belt changed... instead, it cost over $1300 to have that and half the engine rebuilt once the belt broke.
Can you adjust timing on a 93 dodge shadow with 2.2 without taking the timing belt off?
Answer to this depends upon which timing you want to change. 1. If you want to change the igition timing, this is done by loosening the distibutor. You will need a timing light. You can ususally get service manuals at the local library to give you the procedure. 2. If you want to change the cam timing, this will require you to remove the timing belt. If the cam timing has changed, it is likely because the timing belt is failing. This is very common once the timing belt has anywhere between 45k and 60k miles on it. You are best to replace the belt if it is worn enough to jump timing.

Does a 94 Mazda Protege dx have a timing belt?
Yes. Every modern car has either a timing belt or a timing chain. Yours is a belt. They need to be changed every 96,000 Km. Your car is a non-interference engine, so if the belt breaks your car will not work, you'll have to buy a new belt, and get your timing redone, but your engine will not be toast; it'll work fine once a new timing belt is put on. On other less fortunate cars, they have interference engines. This means that the pistons and the valves occupy the same space at different times. The timing belt is what regulates this timing. If it breaks on that type of engine, the pistons smash into the valves bending them, thus rendering the engine useless. You should probably get it changed by a professional, as if you screw it up you will affect the performance and life of your engine greatly.
