Re: 89 Ford Escort No Spark
Well Mighty Moose I thought by now I would have good news but. I believe my main problem now with installing this blasted timing belt (besides being incompetent) is that I seem to be missing a spring that puts tension the tensioner. I really don't believe it was there from the start. Perhaps it came loose when the belt stripped teeth.I loosened up the 2 bolts that retain the tensioner, there is no "snap or spring feeling to it". Any idea where I could buy said spring? Everything I have seen mentions "release bolt let tensor snap back on belt".Can't seem to locate spring online yet. Without tensioner belt wants to ride on the left side of water pump. Belt on and off 5 times now. It's really tight putting on. For a while I thought maybe I had the wrong belt. I guess you can tell I'm having problems . thanx Strongback
