How can you tell if your timing belt is broken on a 1985 Honda Accord?
If the timing belt has broken the engine will not start. If the belt broke you will have internal engine damage as this is an interference engine. The belt must be replaced every 60,000 miles. a quick way to verify if the belt is broken is to remove the distributor cap and turn the engine by hand. If the rotor does not turn the belt is broken.

It all depends on how many teeth of the timing belt jumped. One or two and it would start but have no power. If the belt is broken it won't start at all. A zx2 is a non interference engine so if the timing belt was to break it wouldn't damage the engine. Look into the top of the engine through the oil filler cap with a flashlight while someone cranks the engine. If you can see movement then the belt isn't broken. I've never heard of an Escort jumping time although it can happen.
Can you start a car with a broken timing chain?
I wouldn't recommend it. The timing chain synchronizes all of the valves and pistons so that the valves for the right cylinder open at the proper time. If the timing chain breaks while the engine is running, you've got a really good chance of destroying your engine, and I do mean "destroying" your engine.
