I purchased a 1994 Honda Accord with 74,000 miles on it in '99. Do you think the dealer or previous owner ever changed the timing belt? I traded it in 8 years and 200,000 miles later with having never changed the timing belt. The car I purchased was a 1996 Accord, with a broken speed sensor and an odometer stuck at 168,000 miles. I owned it for 6 years and never changed the timing belt, it probably had between 250,000 and 300,000 miles on it when I traded it in. I don't know if the previous owner ever changed it, but based on the coolant that leaked from the water pump I'd say not; the dealer that sold it to me sure as [censored] didn't change it, I couldn't get them to fix the speed sensor or a check engine light that were two bad O2 sensors. However, in spite of that glowing report on two Accord timing belts, my cousin's 1989 Honda Prelude's timing belt broke on the highway at 105,000 miles. Even though it was an interrupt engine, this incident somehow did no damage to the valves or pistons and the mechanic was amazed. Most would be amazed that I've seen two cars with nearly 300,000 miles on them and one for sure that never had it's timing belt changed. Have a trusted mechanic inspect it and see if they think it needs changed.
