Yes, all of the so-called fwd "white engines" (as opposed to the rwd red engines) have interference engines. If the belt breaks, be ready to buy a new engine, rebuild it or sell the car, mostly as a parts vehicle. It is very important that the Timing Belt is replaced on time, and on every other change, to also replace the tensioner and pulley. Hope this helps. Sorry to hear about your mishap with the Eclipse.

Do you mean 'interference'? (Yes, if a timing belt breaks on almost ALL cars these days, the pistons and valves will collide at subsonic speeds, bending or breaking the valves!)
