Under normal conditions the timing chain will last the life of the engine. It is normally replaced during a complete engine rebuild.

Have often should you replace a timing belt in a 98 Chevy Prizm?

The Prizm has a timing CHAIN, not belt. The timing chain does not get replaced on a scheduled interval. It should never need to be replaced. The serpentine belt, however, does need to be replaced. Inspect the belt for cracks and glazing, and replace. It is not a difficult DIY job. It is easiest to do it from under the car, after removing the splash pan.


When should i change the timing chain on a 2003 celica?

I cant be sure, so you should consult a service manual for your car, but I don't believe that the timing chain would need to be replaced in a car that new. If it was making noises, then maybe. A timing chain shouldn't go out before 150k. If it actually has a timing belt then once again check your manual, but i believe its in the 90-100k range.

How do you replace the timing on a 1991 Park Avenue?

This car uses a timing chain, there is no set time interval to replace a timing chain, they last the life of the car in most cases. My opinion "It has a timing chain and it needs to be changed and should be replaced every 150,000 to 174,000 miles most 90,000 to 110,00 minimum." I can give you valuable info from the manual in exchange for your help.
