How can you tell if your timing belt is broken on a 95 Ford Escort?

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.
Does the timing belt effects the way your car shifts gears?
The timing belt effects your camshaft timing, and in some engines your ignition timing (if the distributor or crank trigger runs off a pulley driven by your timing belt). Directly, your timing belt has no effect on your shifting. However, variances in camshaft timing will make your engine run differently and that MAY effect at what point the transmission shifts.
Why is your timing belt shredding?
abuse, not keep your car maintained. it can blow an engine. If the belt was replaced and then began shredding, the shim washer on the crank may have been installed between the lower crank gear and the block. The shim washer should be between the the crank gear and the crank pulley.
Will a broken timing belt cause engine damage on a 1999 Mitsubishi Galant V6?
Without a doubt! Most people make the mistake of trying to re-crank a car after the belt has snapped because the car just "dies" without warning. The re-cranking of the car is what causes valve damage in the engine because the belt, which controls the timing of the engine, is gone. Engine parts are now just flailing away hitting against each other causing internal damage.

What would cause no compression when starting the a car?
Either your timing belt is stripped or broken. In order to have compression the camshaft and valves need to be in time with the crankshaft. If it has a distributor cap then remove it and have someone crank the engine. If the rotor does not turn then the timing belt is bad.

How do you access the timing belt on a 2000 mercury villager?
The timing belt is under the front engine cover. Access is somewhat difficult. To get at the belt, you will need to remove all the accessory belts, and the A/C belt tensioner. You will need to raise the car, remove the right front wheel and splash shield for access. You will need to remove the crank pulley. This will require a special tool which you will either have to buy or fabricate, unless you have an air ratchet large enough to get the crank pulley nut off, which will be very tight. Once that is off you can remove the timing cover and get at the timing belt.
