(Licenced Technician)--Are you sure that this vehicle info is correct? Chevrolet Corsicas have only used 2.0L, 2.2L, 2.8L, 3.1L, and 3100 CC engines (the related Beretta also ran a 2.3L engine). All of these engines use a timing chain - no belts. Also, on all of these engines, ignition timing is controlled by the engine computer and is not adjustable. If there's a timing problem, it must be investigated.
I could not find references for ANY of these vehicles to have any 1.2L engine in them, even into the export markets. The only reason to change chains on these engines is because of wear or breakage. Make sure you have the correct information next time.
It will take an experience mechanic approximately 8 hours to replace the timing belt in your 1992 Chevy Corsica. The 1992 Chevy Corsica does not have each timing chain, it has a timing belt.
The Chevrolet 3.1 liter V6 does not have a timing belt. It has a timing chain.
It is a timing chain, and no, you can replace it in the car.
Timing chains are designed to normally last the life of the engine and are replaced when the engine is rebuilt.
No, this engine has a timing belt.
Timing chains are designed to last the life of the engine. So, replace the timing chain when the engine needs rebuilding.
Check the timing for the 90 Corsica. the most likely cause for the engine not starting is it has jumped time causing the engine to fire at the wrong time.

Check the timing on the Corsica for jumped timing. Most likely the engine is firing at the wrong time causing it not to start.
That engine has a timing chain.
The 3.3L engine has a timing chain....not a timing belt.... The 3.0L engine has a timing belt......
This engine is chain driven and has no timing belt.
