Trying to find out if a 01 2.2L I4 Rodeo engine has a timing belt or chain & if it needs to be replaced & at what interval.

 

Looks like a belt from the illustrations available here:

Not sure as to the interval. Good luck.

It is a belt and the 2.2L engine is said to last about 100,000 miles before major problems due to the weight of the Rodeo and such low output from the 2.2L
