Timing belts only get loose if the tensioner is broken. If that happens the belt will slip and your engine will be out of time. It will either not run at all or run very badly. On an interference engine you could have internal engine damage.

What happens when the timing belt breaks on a 1998 mercury mystique?

When the timing belt breaks on a 1998 Mercury Mystique, the engine will immediately lose its ability to run, leading to a complete stall. Depending on the engine type, this can result in serious internal damage, such as bent valves or damaged pistons, especially if the engine is an interference type. Repairing the damage often requires extensive work, including replacing the timing belt and any affected engine components. It's crucial to address timing belt maintenance regularly to prevent such failures.
