From what I read it has a timing chain, not a timing belt. I asked the dealer about scheduled maintenance, and changing the timing belt was never mentioned.
Prizm's had a timing belt up until 1998 when they then switched to a timing chain.
The '99 Chevy Prizm has a timing chain, not a timing belt, so it does not need to be replaced.
Chain
replacing serpentine belt on 2000 chevy prizm need help
the Chevy prizm doesn't have a timing belt it has a timing chain. it doesn't need to be changed unless you hear something or 150k miles. it cost usually 300 with a 90 dollar kit hope that helps Phil
The 2001 prizm has a timing chain.
1994 Geo Prizm has a timing belt.
Replace every 60,000 miles.
I can't say for sure, but I have a 2001 Prizm and called some mechanics to look into having the belt changed, and they told me I didn't need to because it has a chain. According to the repair manual from 1993 through 1997 the Prizm used a timing belt and was an interference engine. From 1998 until end of production the Prizm used a timing chain. same with its mechanical twin, the Toyota corolla.
Its a non interferance engine and they rarely need to be changed
How do you replace the timing belt on a 1994 Geo Prizm 1.6?
