How many miles before i needt to replace my 94 geo prism timing belt?

i dont think the 94 cars had the anti-theft feature."asking for code"
its dead in all modes, ?
Am/FM , Cassette, or CD
when dead the dial is dead,station scans dead too.
or just audio dead. but seems to be ok
if totally dead, that is a loose or bad Radio fuse
or if not, bad radio. time to upgrade, no?

Could have broken the timing belt if it sounds like it has no compression.

old post,
the prizm is a toyota.
they had 3 engines.
see this page, for links to all you need to know.

your engine sides sideways. FWD car.
this fact makes service hard. unlike RWD cars. and trucks.
the crank pulley and pump are on the right side (drivers perceptive)
seen left, facing engine bay.

see the top of engine, that is the valve cover
look to the left
see that wider part, that is the cam cog and belt side.

what you really need are all the instructions on how to do this
and not mess it up;.
the steps are covered, fully
at

see links and facts above.
the first step is to find out what engine is in your car.
4A or 7A

Rear are a HUB ASSEMBLY and replaces as a Unit. Same for the Front. Remove the Axle Nut, Remove the Brakes, Remove the 3 or 4 Bolts and the hub will come off.

I suggest you try one of those instant download manuals.
My brother ( a mechanic) buys when he can't fix some technical issue with the manual at www.reliable-store.com . A lot of mechanics actually do this. Website is very good for this. Must try it !!

if the cylinder is out try a flat head screw diver insert it into the cylinder hole at the bottom will be a small slot for screw driver blade to go into and act as the ignition switch turn it forwards and it should start .

inspect at 30,000 miles for wear, replace every 60,000 miles.
Please rate my help.

just unbolt it and replace it, that easy

follow the lower radiator hose to where it meets the motor... you have found it...
