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.
