May be a bad timing belt. If you replace the timing belt, replace the timing belt tensioner and water pump at the same time. Trust me.

The timing belt is located inside the timing belt cover at the fron of the engine.

Its more than likely your timing belt!

An Escort water pump is located under the timing cover and is driven by the timing belt. Jack up the right front corner of the vehicle, remove the following: RF wheel, front motor mount, serpentine belt, belt tensioner crankshaft pulley, timing cover, and timing belt, to gain access to and replace the water pump. It is recommennded that you install a new timing belt when you replace the water pump.
