If the timing belt went as in broke/stopped working, I don't think your engine would start. The timing belt controls the camshafts which actuate the intake and exhaust valves. Neons have an interferance engine if the timing belt broke you possibly have bent valves and the engine will spin over very fast and you will have no compression. That's probably not what you want to hear though. Cross your fingers.

How do you replace the timing belt on a 1995 2.3L 4-cylinder ford ranger when the belt broke while driving?
Chances are there is more damage than just the belt being broke. If the timing chain/belt broke while moving, depending on engine speed, some valves could have kissed the pistons and you might have internal engine damage too. The procedure is the same if the belt had not broke first. Unless you are really mechanically adept, take it to the dealer for repair.

Maybe, it depends on if your engine is an interference engine.
How do you tell if timing belt is broken on 2001 Honda?
Engine will not start or run. Whatever you do, do not turn the engine over with the starter. This is an interference engine and if the belt is broke engine damage has already occurred and trying to start the engine will just do more damage. Best thing to do it to remove the cam belt cover and see if it is broken. Another way to identify a broken timing belt is to pull the valve cover and watch the OHC cam or valves while the engine is hand cranked but I would not do this as you can do more damage. Rest assured if you have not replaced the belt in the last 100,000 miles it very well may be broke.
What do you do if the timing belt breaks and how do you know if that is what happened?
If you think your Timing Belt broke DO NOT try to crank your car, if you continue to crank you car with a severed timing belt you will cause more damage.

If you see a naked cam sprocket your timing belt has broken and you will most likely need a top end engine rebuild.
