If it is a 1.9,, then you point the arrow on the cam pulley up, at the dot on the head, and the crank pulley notch up, at the matching notch above it, and put on the belt. The tensioner is a bit of a hassle.
They are on the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets
There's no way to set timing. Just align marks on camshaft and crankshaft during belt installation. There may be another problem if your car is still running rough.
The Crankshaft Position Sensor senses it's position from a toothed timing ring behind the Crankshaft pulley. The CKP is above and to the left of the crankshaft pulley.
you cannot fix the timing on your tbird as it is electronically controlled and does not have a distrubutor. have your camshaft or crankshaft sensors checked
I am not familiar with this engine in particular but most engines have the timing marks stamped into the block with a corresponding dot or arrow on the crankshaft damper which tells you where top dead center (TDC) is. After aligning these timing marks you would look at the camshaft sprocket(s). If it is a single overhead cam (SOHC) there will be markings similar to those for the crankshaft, one on the cylinder head and another on the camshaft sprocket. Or, if it is a dual overhead cam (DOHC) there is typically one arrow on each of the camshaft sprockets that you align to be pointing at one another.
As far as I know the Ford 4.9 L ( 300 cubic inch ) straight 6 cylinder doesn't have a timing chain or timing belt , it has gears on the camshaft and crankshaft that mesh
how do i set the timing on a 1995 ford escort LX??
It is just a guess, but I wonder if you have either the crankshaft or camshaft 180 degrees off. A piston is hitting a valve. There shouldn't be anything in the process of a timing belt to cause this.
"How to set timing on 1991 ford escort lx 1.9?"
The timing chain for a 1993 Ford escort is located on the front of the engine. It is under the timing chain cover.
Im replacing the timing belt on a 1995 Ford Escort 1.9L. How do I Set the timing on it?
The cover on the passenger side of the motor has long lines on it, those are your timing marks. Hold the timing gun above them and look directly down to the crankshaft pully.
