The timing belt on 2004 and later V6 is scheduled for change at 90,000 miles. While I'm sure there are Solara's running just fine at mileages higher than that this V6 is an 'interference' engine. Meaning, if the belt breaks any valves left open will be hit by pistons before the engine comes to a complete stop. Damage to valves cylinder heads and pistons will be considerable and expensive. When changing the belt it's strongly suggested (though not part of the listed maintenance) that the water pump be changed at the same time since everything needed to reach it is already off the engine.

What would be the recommended miles to change out the timing belt on my 2001 Solara 4cyl. with 77,000 miles on it. Would 90K be a number close to factory recommendations?
you should hear something it does not have enouph power if not than you have to open it to see if it need to be changed
The 4 cylinder has a timing chain that does not require replacement and is designed to last the life of the engine.
Should be four.
Toyota recommends replacing the belt every 90,000 miles.
I dont think that a 2001 Solara has a carburetor. They stopped using them years ago - your car should have a fuel-injection unit.
If the amp is in the trunk.Just ground it to any part of the metal body.
If it's possible to do so the information should be in your owners manual.
In upstate NY it's about $500-600.
Looking under the hood you should find the brake fluid to be in the top right corner.
One should just under the battery, another one is the gas tank attached to the gas pump.
If the bolt patterns are similar then it should but you need to look into the hub size. Toyota are smaller than hondas. If the bolt patterns are similar then it should but you need to look into the hub size. Toyota are smaller than hondas.
