If it is the 3.4L Twin DOHC version, it is a monstor job. This motor has timing belt and timing chain. The entire front cover of the engine has to come off to replace both.

"NO" compression - most likely timing belt / chain, assuming v6 2.7
take the plastic cover off the top of the engine 10mil socket 4 nuts hold it on when that is done go to the left side of the motor you,ll see the top cover of the timing belt 10mill socket will take the nuts off there are 4 of them take them off and you can see the timing belt and the twin cam sprockets you should be able to see if any wear is on the teeth and you can see if the belt is going bad dont try to take the bottom cover off its more work than you need to do you should be able to inspect what you need to with just the top cover off if it looks bad take to someone you trust this is alot of work to change the belt you have to unbolt the engine to change the belt
According to the Gates Belt application chart this engine does not use a belt but instead uses a chain that normally lasts the life of the engine.
It has a timing chain. A MAIN timing chain runs around the twin over head cams and crankshaft and a SECONDARY chain (balance shaft chain) runs off the crankshaft to turn the water pump. Both have timing marks and the balance shaft chain runs behind the timing chain.
I can't say for sure, but I have a 2001 Prizm and called some mechanics to look into having the belt changed, and they told me I didn't need to because it has a chain. According to the repair manual from 1993 through 1997 the Prizm used a timing belt and was an interference engine. From 1998 until end of production the Prizm used a timing chain. same with its mechanical twin, the Toyota corolla.
