Could a timing chain on my 1998 s10 2.2L make it dye out and not start again?

Yes. A fault in the timing chain usually leads to a total loss of the engine as the timing chain synchronises the mechanical operation of the engine. If this goes wrong bits of the inside of the engine will be physically destroyed (the engine will have to be rebuilt). It is MOST IMPORTANT to replace the timing chain on an engine WHEN the manufacturer says it need to be done.

Yes, according to Toyota all models after 1997 use a Timing Chain and not a belt. They told me they recommend the chain being changed at 120,000 miles or I could have a tensioner added.

Why is my 92 Mercury Villager just stop running occasionally this can be at any speed I just shift to neutral and start it again and works like a dream but eventually it happens again any ideas?
It could be dirt in the carborator or the timing chain is starting to go, but that usually just dies and the car will not start again. It also could be a problem within the exhaust system. I have had the alternator changered with no results.
What happens when the timing chain is going out?
redo the timing or replace the whole kit - I might add that replacing the entire timing chain as a kit is what you would do when you find out that the timing chain is bad. The question was what happens when the timing chain is going out? 1. It may get or be harder to start the engine 2. The engine performance will be down 3. The ignition and cam timing will be unstable 4. The engine has a greater potential to "jump" timing or become mistimed. This could lead to bent valves and other problems which are more expensive to fix.
