The 1998-2009 US Toyota Corolla has a timing chain, while a 1990-1997 US Toyota Corolla has a timing belt.



There is no prescribed service interval for the timing chain. If you had a timing belt, for that model year you would change it every 60,000 miles or 4 years.

have the belt done soon. if the timing belt jumps time or breaks, major engine damage can occur. a good rule of thumb is every 80k-100k miles.



cold air intakes and short ram intakes are available for allmost any car or truck. AEM makes good kits, along with fujita, weapon-r and K%26amp;N.

If your car has never had the belt replaced you are probably on thin ice. There will be no other damage if the belt does break though. If you have the belts done you will probably be told that you need some oil seals or maybe a water pump etc. Be prepared for the extra expense. I would not spend money trying to make an 11 year old car faster. You will not accomplish much and performance parts are expensive.How many more miles be for changing timing belt on 1998 toyota corolla?I think it has a timing chain, so don't sweat it.

You have a maintenance-free timing belt so you don't have to do anything to it.
