as far as i know you cant tell its bad until it finally snaps and if that happens you could be waving goodbye to your engine. check with your car manufacturer when your belt should be changed. an outlay of around 350 for a belt change is better than possibly the end of your car.

AnswerIf this engine has a timing belt, there is no way to know if a timing belt is going bad unless you look at it and it is frayed or cracked. That is why they are replaced at a predetermined mileage interval. The belt can look good and be ready to fail. Replace the belt according to the mileage interval listed in your owner's manual.AnswerIt is highly unlikely the Taurus/Sable has a timing BELT - unless it is a Taurus SHO model.See "Related Questions" below for more
