The Ford Motor Company made the Ford Escort ZX2 2.0 motor, a "non interferance engine" meaning when the timing belt breaks, it will NOT damage your engine components. -Antwon00
The 1999 Ford Taurus does not have a timing belt. It has a chain that requires no maintenance.

There is no suck thing as a timing sensor. The timing marks for a escort are not on the cams you must use a straight edge.
Yes, the 1999 Kia Sportage with 2.0L DOHC is an "interference" engine, meaning the valves can hit the pistons if the timing belt broke.
According to the information I have, no, though Gates claims it does. I've seen timing belts break on these engines with no damage to valves.
How do you change a timing belt on a 1999 Plymouth Breeze belt was broken?
80,000 miles
A timing chain, that needs to be replaced, can cause your engine to run rough and lose power. A broken timing chain can cause significant engine damage.
According to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc. ) both the SOHC and DOHC engines in a 1999 Ford Escort ARE INTERFERENCE ENGINES
No , according to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) the 2.0 liter ( SOHC and DOHC ) engines that are used in a 1999 Ford Escort are NOT INTERFERENCE ENGINES
Almost certainly. The timing belt being damaged or broken can cause a number of different problems. I know in my 86 celica sx the result of a faulty/ old timing belt was a piston snapping off at the control rod, it was warped and bent because of wrong timing. i suggest if u have a broken/old/damaged timing belt you do not drive it till u get it replaced. Also see your mechanic for more advice
I dont think you have to worry about that. 1999 has timing chain I dont think you have to worry about that. 1999 has timing chain I dont think you have to worry about that. 1999 has timing chain it does have a timing chain but if it has really high mileage its better to check and replace if it needs it because if it skips timing it could seriously damage the motor
