No. Without a functioning timing belt, the valves won't open and close. And w/o the valves doing what they should, there's no intake of fresh fuel/air, and no venting of combustion gasses, all of which the engine needs to run.

The 2003 escape has a timing belt - but it is not the sort of belt that can cause havoc and internal damage to the engine if it breaks. If it breaks, the engine simply won't run until you replace the broken belt - but the engine won't slam into itself - as it were.
