Perhaps it wasn't installed correctly, and the valves aren't opening and closing properly.
Im replacing the timing belt on a 1995 Ford Escort 1.9L. How do I Set the timing on it?
as long as the belt is on right it will work, start it
Ignition timing is not adjustable. Cam timing is adjustable by the "guess" method unless you are replacing the timing belt and using the timing marks on the belt drive cogs, in which case you need a repair manual that has detailed instructions.
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.
It's probably from incorrect timing.
Timing issue, poor ignition.
how do i set the timing on a 1995 ford escort LX??
The timing chain for a 1993 Ford escort is located on the front of the engine. It is under the timing chain cover.
No, timing chain doesn't need replacing.
timing belt
There is no suck thing as a timing sensor. The timing marks for a escort are not on the cams you must use a straight edge.
