"How to set timing on 1991 ford escort lx 1.9?"
i think the biggest engine you could fit in a 1993 ford escort gt 1.8 is a 1998 ford escort zx2 2.0 turbo engine with intake manifold and coilovers to get hp that you can actually manage in the car. but then you would have to completely redo the wiring harness from a zx2 to a 93 escort and get the transmission from the zx2 to fit also in the 93 escort, with the right motor mounts youll be set.
Im replacing the timing belt on a 1995 Ford Escort 1.9L. How do I Set the timing on it?
how do i set the timing on a 1995 ford escort LX??
In a standard Ford factory set-up the Escort has an 8 wire / 4 speaker system. Front - Left - White Wire / Front Right Gray / Left Rear - Green / Right Rear - Purple.
It's controlled by the computer.
Modern vehicles have their timing set by the PCM (computer), there is no adjustment.
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.
