timing issue
 

hey ya'll new here. got a few questions. yesterday i drove a few places, the last one i went to start the car, and the drive belt tore. I got a new one put it on, and man it started knocking something fierce. well i was about 20 miles from the house, i made it home, but it ran like ****, and blew white smoke from the tail pipe, 1999 escort. do you think i may have jumped time and thats what caused the other problems, the day before it ran fine. many any ideas would be appreceated. thanks:eek:

Welcome to the site..

Assuming 2.0

If the old belt completely let go, or lost teeth, most definitely its out of time, or worse..

You just slipped on a belt, no checking alignment points/marks?

white smoke...what about the head gasket?
