If you have a 1993 ford escort lx wagon and timing belt broke while driving would there be any damage to motor?

It's possible. There are only 2 ways to find out: 1. disassemble the engine and inspect for damage. 2. Put a new timing belt on and see if you have good compression across all cylinders. If you do, you probably didn't cause damage when the timing belt broke. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Put on the timing belt. The car will run fine or really poorly. It will be obvious if you have any bent or stuck valves. Y-THINK-Y

Timing belt broke in my 2001 interference engine while driving. I installed a new belt she started but now she's knocking?
When a timing belt breaks the crankshaft continues to turn but the cams do not, you may have a bent valve or other component of the valve system. When the belt broke any valve that was open stayed open and the moving pistons would have hit them potentially causing all sorts of damage from cam lobes to lifters to the valves themselves.

Yes If you know that it is broke don't attempt to start it or you cause more harm if harm isn't already caused
Timing belt broke on your 1996 ford ranger 2.3 replaced it and now it wont start timing marks are lined up help please anyone?
Do a compression test. I'm not sure but the engine may not be a non-interferance engine which means it may have bent valves or more damage.
While driving 67 el camino on the freeway it suddenly stopped Engine turns over but no spark?
With the distributor cap off have some one turn the engine over. If the rotor doesn't turn you broke the cam or a timing gear.

Can engine damage occur if timing belt breaks 1998 Sophia?
yes!!!! if your timing belt is cracked or split, you should get it in asap! if your timing belt has broken the damage done all depends on what happened to break it/what were you doing when it broke? if you were driving when it happened ( not stopped) there will be extensive damage done if your car was on but you were stopped not as much damage.
Is the 93 escort 1.9 a zero clerance motor if the timing belt breaks will the pistons hit the valvs and ruin the motor?
I believe the answer is no. I have a 1994 Escort LX with the 1.9 liter engine. I broke the timing belt, and there was no damage to the engine. Yes, it is no. I had the same experience last night and nothing happened to the engine. I have a 94 Escort LX with 1.9L engine too.
How do you set the timing on a 95 Escort 1.8L after the belt broke while driving?
place your cam at BDC and your crank at TDC make sure your #1 piston is up all the way on the down stroke

If you have no compression in all 4 cylinders your timing belt is broke.
Does it damage the engine if the timing belt breaks on a 1997 contour with the 4 cylinder engine?
i HAVE A 98 AND THE BELT BROKE TWICE AND DID NO DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. The first time I was on freeway doing 75 and it broke. I have a '97 Contour and had no damage to the engine when my timing belt broke. Make sure you check your pulleys to ensure that the bearings are good. Mine were not and had to replace them.
Does the timing guide bolt to the cylinder head or block on a 2002 ford escort 2.0 cause the bolt broke off the timing guide sitting in cover and timing belt loose jump time?

How do you relieve tension on timing belt for 89 escort gt?
89 escort should have a ford 1.9l overhead cam engine these timing belts have a tensioner/idler pulley that can be relieved using a special tool or 1/2 inch wrench/breaker bar warning: if your timing belt broke while engine running its possible for a valve to contact a piston causing severe internal engine damage. cross your fingers!! get a haynes or chilton manual and set your camshaft to crankshaft timing
How much can I expect the replacement of a timing belt to cost me?
Unfortunately this can be an expensive fix, especially if the timing belt damaged any other parts when it broke. If you are driving fast when the belt breaks, it can cause damage to the engine too. On average, the timing belt alone plus labor can cost about $800 - $1,000.00 to fix.

If you can drive the car, the timing belt isn't broken. An engine will not start or run with a broken cam belt.
How to fix-95 Escort will not start died while driving; Battery alternator good; new spark plugs and wires; fuel pump good; new air oil and fuel filers; changed oil; new ignition coil; whats wrong?
How about a broken timing belt. If this car has a lot of miles on it, it is possible that your timing belt broke. It also could be a clogged fuel line. Your timing belt broke. My 95 broke twice on me while driving. Change it religously every 40,000 miles to prevent it from breaking on you. It will take you a couple of hours to do yourself the first time, but only about $20 for the belt.
