1997 pontiac grand prix does it have a timing belt or timing chain

SOURCE: Timing Chain

dont kill the messenger but here's a link how to do it and it's a fairly big job .good news is you can leave the engine in the car to do it but you'll end up striping down the whole top end and all the plastic guards on the front . anyways click here if your up for the challenge . same thing in my own garage w8ing for parts.

I read in the manual that you get to take it to the dealer and they will clear this wonderful code that activates the wonderful light on the dash. the redneck in me advises the use of black electrical tape over the wonderful light . that is how i fixed mine . I got the same year grand prix
