Best Answer

The timing belt is looped around the crankshaft and the camshaft or camshfts to control when the valves in your engine open to let the fuel/air mixture into the cyclinders for burning and the exhaust valves to open to let the burned mixture out into the exhaust system. Without a timing belt none of this could happen.

How do you time a 1993 Ford Escort?

There is a timing mark on the crankshaft and one on the camshaft pulleys where the timing belt runs on. You have to align both of them and just put the timing belt on. If you are not familiar with the timing marks you can go to an auto parts and buy a service manual for your specific vehicle and it will show you all the information you need to know. At Auto Zone or Advance Auto Part locally they are under $20. Well worth the investment if you are going to do your own work. Unless you have taken the timing belt off or it has broken the timing should be right. This is the only way to adjust the timing.
