The 2001 prizm has a timing chain.
1994 Geo Prizm has a timing belt.
From what I read it has a timing chain, not a timing belt. I asked the dealer about scheduled maintenance, and changing the timing belt was never mentioned.
Prizm's had a timing belt up until 1998 when they then switched to a timing chain.
I can't say for sure, but I have a 2001 Prizm and called some mechanics to look into having the belt changed, and they told me I didn't need to because it has a chain. According to the repair manual from 1993 through 1997 the Prizm used a timing belt and was an interference engine. From 1998 until end of production the Prizm used a timing chain. same with its mechanical twin, the Toyota corolla.
How do you replace the timing belt on a 1994 Geo Prizm 1.6?
