Where can you find the timinig marks on a 1998 Ford Escort?

Answer 1

There are no timing marks. The ignition timing is controlled by the ECU. There is a ring behind the crankshaft pulley that has one tooth missing. When that missed tooth goes past the Crankshaft Positon Sensor it creates an electrical pulse. This is sent to the Power Contol Module which determines the timing. Timing can't be set.
