All hondas have timing belts

the engine type answers that.

belts at 60k miles
chains when they make noise, if changd oil every 5k, the chain can go
200k or way more.
filthy oil kills chains and the whole engine for that matter.

Honda cars have always used timing belts, but it looks like your model has a chain.

from 2003 to 2007 inline 4 cyl, models have timing chains, that do not require replacing. All of these engines are INTERFERENCE engines. If the belt breaks you WILL have serious engine damage. if a rubber timing belt, honda says about 100,000 miles. have a good day !!

It has a timing belt. Recommended to be replace every 105,000 miles, timing belt also run's your water pump good idea to also replace, your engine is also an INTERFERENCE ENGINE which will damage your cylinder head valve's if timing belt goes bad. Hope this was very helpful.

Code P1361 = Intermittent Interruption In TDC 1 Sensor Circuit

Turns out Top Dead Center (TDC) sensor was bad. Yours is too.

This sensor in located behind the timing chain cover on my 2001 civic. You have to take the cover off to get to it. Honda dealer wanted $360 in labor to change the sensor. Because it was in the same the location Honda would have changed my timing chain for no extra labor charge. So I went to the Honda dealer and got the sensor ($56) and went to the auto parts store and got a timing chain, water pump, and new belts. Local mechanic changed all these parts for $160 in labor (others wanted $230). $130 for the sensor and timing chain and $30 more for the pump. I probably could have hacked that timing chain cover off myself but that is what thought would happen. A hack job. And it was time for a new chain anyway. 92 plus degrees outside and the civic is running fine.

Good luck (remember rated this post).

has a timing belt and if you need to replace it, if you take it to the dealer it is going to cost you well over $1000. On the ES the belt and waterpump should be changed between 90-120 km

YOUR vehicle has a" timing belt," and tensioner,water pump. water pump is t-belt driven. valve lash is .20m intake .25mm exhaust

belt, change it you are playing an expensive game waiting
