You don't need to. Is he trying to drum up service? The only reason to change belt at 30,000 is if you have to take it off for another work, like the water pump, something like that. Then you might as well replace belt, since it is already off. But just to change belt because it hit 30,000? No, no way.

well, i was gonna give you a long answer, but this link to ehow. com does a better job, its about changing the timing belt, but it does tell you how to time the engine as well

2.4 liter is notorious for noisy hydraulic lifters.
Change oil several times to minimize noise
otherwise replacement will be necessary

Since you didn't specify if you had the turbo or non-turbo engine, i'll give you links to both.
2.0L non-turbo (420a) RS/GS
2.0L turbo (4g63) GST/GSX

1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 2.0 liter DOHC L4





1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (AWD) 2.0 liter DOHC Turbo L4




Hope helps (remember rated this).

Not sure what size of motor you have so please choose what you need:

1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS
2.0 liter DOHC L4


1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T
2.0 liter DOHC Turbo L4




1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (AWD)
2.0 liter DOHC L4

P1390 - Timing belt skipped one tooth or more.


the engine is an interference engine so if the timing belt skipped, it should be fixed before starting the engine again. otherwise you run the risk of bend/break valves from piston to valve contact
