Default 1997 3.3l Engine -> Timing Belt? Drive Belt?

Hi,

can somebody tell me if this 3.3l Engine has a timing belt? I heard somewhere that only the 3.5 has one. And another (possibly stupid) question: What is the difference between a timing belt and drive belt?

Thanks very much

Chris

Drive belt turns the alternator, power steering pump, etc. Timing belt turns the cams in relation to the crank. A 3.3 liter has a timing chain, not a belt.
