Does my Civic have a timing chain or a timing belt

This year Civic does not have a timing belt, it has a timing chain

VERY DETAILED HONDA CIVIC TIMING BELT CHANGE REPLACEMENT FOR ALL 1996 2000...

Mileage? Recent servicing? Could be timing chain, ignition module, sparkplug wires, catalytic converter is clogged, fuel pump, injectors, etc. sounds alot like a timing chain at this point, need more info...

All hondas have timing belts

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).

1998 Corolla does not have a timing belt. It has a timing chain. It does not need to be replaced, unless it is broken.

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

1998 Corollas have timing chains, not timing belts; no need to change the chain.

It's actaully a timing belt, not a chain. But the mileage recommendation i believe is 60,000 or 90,000 miles.
