How much does it cost to put a timing belt on a 1986 Toyota MR2?

The timing belt is not difficult to replace nor is it expensive in and of itself. The problem is that the timing belt is difficult to get to. Mechanics also suggest that you replace the water pump and possibly some other components so that the the same area does not have to be dismantled in the future to do these repairs. It is not hard to get into the $400+ range.

Not a quick job. Timing belt covers have to come off, which means most of the stuff on the right side of the engine, including the motor mount. the water pump is driven by the timing belt - brilliant design concept NOT. start with timing belt replacement instructions....might as well change the belt while you're there. it is under the timing cover. easy to replace pump hard as hell to get to it. remove tire remove inspection panel then remove all belts then remove crank pully then remove timing cover and there it is. replace timing belt while your at it.

Does the engine have to be replace on a 85 fiero when the timing bell is broken?

I am going to assume you mean timing belt. The Fiero does not come with a belt If the chain fails, there is usually no internal damage other than the chain, but the engine must be removed to service, unless you like doing it the hard way.
