50,000-60,000 miles. Whoever changes the timing belt, recommend buy the kit (not just the belt) and be careful to keep timing marks aligned.
The 2001 prizm has a timing chain.
1994 Geo Prizm has a timing belt.
Prizm's had a timing belt up until 1998 when they then switched to a timing chain.
Replace every 60,000 miles.
Its a non interferance engine and they rarely need to be changed
The '99 Chevy Prizm has a timing chain, not a timing belt, so it does not need to be replaced.
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.
How do you replace the timing belt on a 1994 Geo Prizm 1.6?
NO. There is a timing chain, and under most conditions, lasts the life of the vehicle. Do not get hooked into replacing the timing chain unless absolutely necessary with high mileage and extreme engine abuse. It would cost about $1500 at the dealer.
