If You want to know whether the Acura TSX has a timing chain or a timing belt, it depends on the year that You're looking for. On model years 2004 to 2008, the TSX came equipped with a hassle free timing chain on its 2.4L engine. For years 2009 to 2014, the 2.4L engine came equipped with a timing chain while the 3.5L came with a timing belt. The purpose of a timing chain or a timing belt in Your motor is to provide adequate rotation to Your vehicle's crankshaft and camshaft so that Your engine's valves can open and close. This is essential to the operation of the vehicle and needs to be replaced as soon as possible when it or they go out.
