ford escort/ focus engine 2.0 l spi sohc 1997-2004 has been identified as an intereference engine and that means very likely valve to piston damage
( auto data timing belt information )
note-- up to 2002 year Ford has not recommended a timing belt interval for changing
Ford has however recommended a replacement every 120.000 miles using the service history as a guide
however good professional trade practice recommends every 60.000 miles ( 100.00klms) and the replacement work should include replacement of the crank and cam shaft seals and idler pulleys involved ( the biggest destroyer of belts is oil)
recommended labor time is 2 hours
if the belt has broken then head removal and valve work will add up to 5 hours to that time
Are you calling the oil pressure switch the oil solenoid ? The oil pressure switch could have failed which would push oil out the terminal where the wire is connected.
Advance auto parts or just about any parts store that carries Haynes manuals can fix you up for about 15 bucks. Lee

your valve cover gasket needs replaced. there are 4 seals that go around the spark plugs .this is part of the valve cover gasket!thanks for your question
Yes, All the years of the ZX2 utilize the same engine. 1998-2003 are all the same except for ECU programing and the MAF wiring. You should not have a problem.
