Want this question answered?
According to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) Yes , the 1.3 liter four cylinder engine in a 1990 Ford Festiva has a timing BELT
ford festiva stopped while driving it has fuel and power it just wont turn over
very carefully.
remove the rim, remove the two bolts that hold the caliper on, remove the two disc retainer screws and the disc will pull off the hub assembly.
with blinker fluid
remove top engine mount and cut off metal lug that stops engine from lowering enough to remove harmonic balancer. Then engine lowers enough.
on 1991 ford taurus 3.8 how do you replace a timing cover
Open the rear hatch there are 2 screws on the inside edge of the tail light remove them then remove the light housing. Unscrew the plug at the back and replace the bulb. Good Luck James
Ford Festiva was created in 1986.
there is no timing on a water pump pump is belt driven and just turns when motor is running
support the engine on a floor jack, remove the motor mount on the right side, clear access to and remove the timing cover, remove the timing belt. Water pump is under the timing belt. Replace the water pump and reassemble. It is strongly reccommended that you install a new timing belt.
It is best to replace the whole axle, Its easy to do not to mention pretty inexpensive....
