How do you know if broken timing belt did more damage on 99 ZX2?
Sarahtommy
99 zx2 has a non interference engine. This means if the timing is off or the timing belt breaks, no damage will occur to your engine. If you replaced the belt and your engine runs rough, misfires, bucks, that means you didn't put the timing belt on right. It's got to be put on perfectly with the crankshaft at TDC and the cams aligned. Have fun. If you can figure it out, you can take it to a Ford dealer to have the timing belt put on properly.

How do you know when a timing belt is going bad on a 2004 dodge neon sxt?
When they give out, the car won't start and it will crank real easy and faster. If going bad, possibly you'd notice it slip timing because the teeth are wearing off, but I haven't experienced that. They've always just broke w/o warning, which is why you need to change them at the recommended intervals. For interference engines, it is critical to change them timely because a broken timing belt on these can cause major engine damage due to the valve slamming against the piston.

Almost certainly. The timing belt being damaged or broken can cause a number of different problems. I know in my 86 celica sx the result of a faulty/ old timing belt was a piston snapping off at the control rod, it was warped and bent because of wrong timing. i suggest if u have a broken/old/damaged timing belt you do not drive it till u get it replaced. Also see your mechanic for more advice
What do you do if the timing belt breaks and how do you know if that is what happened?
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.

No such thing as a timing chain belt. It is either a belt or chain. Replace the belt according to the schedule in your owner's manual. If it breaks and your engine is an interference engine, you will 95% of the time have damage. You will know the extent of the damage when the engine is torn down. The 1992 SL2 has a timing chain. Mine has 240,000 miles on it and is still running fine.
