If a timing belt fails on a 1994 Mazda mpv 3 liter will it cause engine damage or is it a zero interference motor?

It is an interference engine. Severe engine damage will occur if the belt breaks. The belt should be changed every 60,000 miles.
Do not believe the previous post. Your Mazda engine is a Non-Interference engine....the belt can break....replace the belt and tensioner (with Mazda OEM parts only -trust me on this) and you are good to go. There will not be any related valve damage.
Note: Some manuals do indicate incorrectly 89-98 MPVs are an interference engine...This is not true; says I, a certified mechanic.
