The timing belt is under the timing cover on the front of the engine (passenger side). Removal and replacement is a complex process which requires several specialized tools to complete properly. It requires removal of the left front wheel, fender liner, all belts, crank pulley, timing covers, upper radiator hose and crossover hose, which requires draining the cooling system, as well as removal of the a/c tensionser assembly. You will probably need to replace all the drive belts and the timing belt tensioner as well. Unless you are an experienced mechanic, I suggest taking it to a competent professional.
