The belt is made or rubber and drives the cam. A gear is just that, a gear which is a metal or plastic part with teeth on it that meshes with a belt or another gear.
No it is a gear to gear timing system.
This engine does not have a timing belt, it is gear-driven. Possibly, you have broken gear teeth, causing the timing to be out of order.
It has a timing chain.
There is no timing belt on 2.5L Fieros, the cam is gear driven.
As far as I know all Honda and Acura cars have belts. With a chain the chain, cam gear and crank gear must be changed and with belt only the belt needs changed.
One thing I know is that the Ford 2.8 L V6 engine doesn't have a timing chain or timing belt . It has a large gear on the end of the camshaft that meshes (spelling ? ) with a smaller gear on the end of the crankshaft - (Helpfull)
no
timing belt
no,,,,,it has a timing chain,,,,,not a belt ======================================================== And , if by any chance you have the 4.9 liter / 300 cubic inch INLINE 6 cylinder engine , it has a large gear on the end of the camshaft which meshes with a smaller gear on the end of the crankshaft , so it doesn't have a timing CHAIN or timing BELT

An "idler" is typically used for tensioning of a belt, as in the timing belt, or a chain.
A Saturn 3.0 timing belt noise can indicate that the belt is becoming worn down. It can also indicate a bad gear.
