Yesy, it can jump a tooth if worn or be installed without the timing marks lined up properly. This is probably an interferance engine so check for internal damage if it's not running or died while driving

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.

Remove valve cover, then remove the side time belt cover. Check timing belt tension. If there's too much slack, loosen timing belt tensioner, put pressure against side of tensioner with long screwdriver, then tighten the tensioner bolt.

What could cause the timing to be off other than the timing belt on a 1998 ford escort zx2?

If your timing is off, it's most likely because of the timing belt. I had this problem when I changed my timing belt and took my car apart over 10 times. You have to be dead-on precise when fitting the timing belt. If you are off one notch your timing will be off. It's that precise.

How do you set timing on a 2001 zx2?

Unless you have had the timing belt off or it has broken the timing should still be correct. The way you set the timing is by taking the timing belt off and lining up the timing marks and put the belt back on. I added a link to a text how-to for setting the timing on the Zetec engine. -ZX2Fast


How do set set timing on a Toyota solara 2.4 after the belt is replaced?

If you're referring to cam timing you don't. That's set when the belt is installed by matching up timing marks on the cam drive wheels and the crankshaft. If any of those marks is off even by a single notch in the belt the engine won't run correctly. If you're referring to ignition timing, you still don't. That shouldn't have changed at all during a belt replacement.
