chain. 2 of them.

Yes, The timing belt coordinates the movement of the engine's valves with the movement of the pistons and fuel delivery system. If the timing belt "fails" this will be catastrophic for the engine. Unlike this first answer, I have a 1991 MPV 4-wheel drive and a 1993 MPV. I have broken the timing belt multiple times on both and it has "never" damaged the engine.
60,000 per factory,I went 138,00 and mine broke.
The '01 Mazda MPV with the 2.5 Liter engine actually has two timing chains, one for each side of the V6 engine. This engine has 2 overhead cams on each side of the engine (DOHC) controlled by the 2 chains.
all timing marks are on the belts and cams. just line them all up and it will be timed
