if you didnt hold cam gears in place when taking off the timing belt more than likely its out of time this happened to me on a 99 and im still trying to figure out how to time it?
Tensioner should be removable and replaceable by single mounting bolt are you referring to the belt tensioner on engine?if so. remove tensioner,buy a new one, and replace. this is not a big job. you will also need to replace belt at same time

there are two tensioners, the serpentine tensioner and the timing belt tensioner. the timing belt tensioner is behind the timing belt cover ;)
Install a new tensioner pulley. If a serpentine belt is loose then the spring in the tensioner pulley is probably weak or the tensioner pulley is hanging up on something. Have fun! Chris
This is the escort forum not the E 150 forum.
It could be due to a vacuum leak or a faulty idler or tensioner bearing on the serpentine belt.

Replace the tensioner pulley
Check that the CKP Crankshaft position sender wasn't knocked out of alignment when you put on the belt. It is at the 10 o'clock position.
The tensioner is spring loaded and there is provision for tightening it. To take it off take the bolt out that attatches it to the engine.
The correct belt tension will be maintained by the belt tensioner. The tension is not adjustable on this car.
I'm not a mechanic but I just had to have the belt tensioner replaced on my 99 ZX2. There are no other adjustments.
Replace belt tensioner. Three 13mm bolts in a triangular pattern, after you remove belt of course
