If you can drive the car, the timing belt isn't broken. An engine will not start or run with a broken cam belt.
If you think your Timing Belt broke DO NOT try to crank your car, if you continue to crank you car with a severed timing belt you will cause more damage. The only way you can tell for sure if the timing belt broke is to remove the upper timing cover and inspect the belt. If you see a naked cam sprocket your timing belt has broken and you will most likely need a top end engine rebuild.
this year model should have no interferance problems a properly installed belt should repair the problem
your car will not move because your camshaft will not be rotating, therefore you will not have compression in your cylinders.
timing belts are fairly easy to fix ,you need the # on the belt to get the right replacement ,go to an auto body shop,they know how to do this job.
If the timing belt went as in broke/stopped working, I don't think your engine would start. The timing belt controls the camshafts which actuate the intake and exhaust valves. Neons have an interferance engine if the timing belt broke you possibly have bent valves and the engine will spin over very fast and you will have no compression. That's probably not what you want to hear though. Cross your fingers.
If you think it is going bad STOP DRIVING and get it changed immediately. If the timing belt/chain goes while you are motoring it will ruin the engine.
As far as I know the 2.3 liter DOHC engine in a 2008 Ford Ranger has a timing CHAIN
It does not have a timing belt it has a chain
Timing Belt Tool Kit Kent Moore Tool J 42069 Alignment Tool. There is no suitable way of properly aligning camshafts for this engine without this tool.
I believe it is not a zero clearance engine because it doesn't have a defined mileage for the timing belt change.
I know of no vehicle where the engine has to be removed to change a timing belt.
The 1997 Buick Park Avenue does not have a timing belt. It has a timing chain.
