The timing belt runs from the crankshaft to the cam, which controls the valvetrain. The belt must be replaced at regular intervals,(As outlined in your owner's manual), before it breaks. Some engines are called Interferance Engines. If a belt breaks on one of these engines, serious damage to the valves & or pistons will occur. The cost varies with the vehicle.

What is the cost to have timing belt replaced 0n a 1994 Pontiac sunbird?

I don't know the cost as that depends on where you live, but may I give you some advice. As the water pump is driven by the timing belt, if this car has over 100,000 miles on it, replace the timing belt at the same time as the belt. This will save you money down the road when the pump fails. The belt should be replaced every 60,000 miles.
