1998 Escort stopped running
Running fine no issues. Driving down the road, just stopped. No noises, thumps...anything. Will crank just fine. When you turn the key on your can hear ( I beleive ), the fuel pump turn on and come up to preasure. Looking for help in troubleshooting procedure. I can smell the odor of gas slightly under the hood so I am thinking it's flooding so no spark is probably the issue.
Can someone suggest a methodology for figuring this out ?

So, I looked in the oil fill to see if the rockers were working and they are not which indicates a bad timing belt ? I have asked many folks about the 1998 SPI2000 SOHC engine to find out if it is a interference engine or not and got mixed replies. Is this documented somewhere ? If it is a interference engine what is the likelyhood of bent valves / other damage ?

From what I can see in the service manual, it does not state that it is an interference engine. I am not that familiar with that engine, so I can not tell you for sure. Another site has the SOHC as non-interference and the DOHC as interference.
