The ignition timing for the Mystique, Contour, and new age Cougar are controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), and are not adjustable by the typical shade tree mechanic.
Diagrams for timing belt marks for 1999 Mercury Mystique cars are great for mechanic's. If they need to replace a timing belt the diagram can show pictures of how the parts are set up to make sure they are fixing the timing belt correctly.
To set the timing belt on a 1998 Mercury Mystique, first, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the first cylinder by aligning the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys. Remove the old timing belt and check the condition of the tensioner and pulleys, replacing them if necessary. Install the new timing belt, ensuring it is properly aligned with the timing marks and has the correct tension. Finally, rotate the engine by hand to verify that there are no obstructions and the timing is correctly set before reassembling the engine.
