What I was told is that you look at the belt; if you see more than 7 "cracks" per inch, it is time to replace the timing belt.
A timing belt can look perfectly fine and be ready to break. This is why they are replaced at a scheduled mileage or every 10 years no matter what they look like. So the bottom line is you cannot know when it needs replacing by just looking at it. Your owners manual will list when it needs replacing.
What else can I help you with?

AnswerIf this engine has a timing belt, there is no way to know if a timing belt is going bad unless you look at it and it is frayed or cracked. That is why they are replaced at a predetermined mileage interval. The belt can look good and be ready to fail. Replace the belt according to the mileage interval listed in your owner's manual.AnswerIt is highly unlikely the Taurus/Sable has a timing BELT - unless it is a Taurus SHO model.See "Related Questions" below for more
