Timing belt is it true that the 2000 ford explorer 4,0 engines has 2 timing belt on them; its a 6 cyl. thank you godbless

HiI!!
6 cyl. and 8 cyl. engines are divided into 2 Banks, standing in front of the Engine, the Bank 1 is the side where the #1 spark plug is (on V6 Ford Engines is on the PASSENGER SIDE). Bank 2 is on the DRIVERS SIDE.
Check the following diagram for HO2 sensor locations (This diagram applies to Ranger, Explorer and Mountaineer models) :



2 would be Bank 1 and 2A would be Bank 2.
Good Luck!! A HELPFUL - 4 THUMBS - rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa.

a haynes manual from a parts place will show you--or chec the condition of each plug wire-if one looks bad or falls apart--probly need to get all new wires /plugs

Here's the information your looking for and thank you for using Fixya

It is recommended because if you have to change the water pump belt change since you have to remove it and you save work in the future as we recommend changing the camshaft seals and crankshaft as it saves time and money

I don't believe Ford offered a 6 cylinder for the Escort in 2000. The engine is more than likely a 2.0L 4 cylinder. There were three engines for that year. Follow this link to see the diagrams you ask for. Choose the engine you have and click on the camera icon to see the correct diagram.

If the car had no real power loss problems before have the ting belt replaced ,than it is most definitely out of time.

should cost less than $100 at a FORD DEALER. mine cost $65 four years ago.

it's metric. Do you have 2.3L 4 cylinder, 3.0L 6 cyl or 4.0L 6 cyl?
