A drive belt and timing belt are not the same. The timing belt connects the crankshaft to the camshaft. It allows your engine to work properly. Plus, they control the pistons and valves in your vehicle. A drive belt, on the other hand, controls several parts, like the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor.
