The timing belt tensioner is under the timing cover(you most likely have that off already). I believe it is a 14mm bolt keeping it down, loosen that bolt and remove the tensioner spring with a pair of needle-nose pliers. Don't drop the spring!

How do you time a Ford Escort 2.0L engine?

In addition to the previous person not knowing how to spell correctly, his procedure for timing the 1998 ford escort is incorrect. The 2.0 found in the escort and the escort ZX2 does not have a distributor. Instead it uses a coil pack. To time the 2.0 engine found in the escort it is a matter of lining up a timing mark on the cam pulley and setting the crank at top dead center (TDC). On the escort ZX2 the timing is set by locating TDC on the crank and aligning the slots on the end of the intake and exhaust cams.
