The Ford Escort ZX2, the 2.0 liter is a interference engine,The valve and the piston kissed each other as they met with a broken timing belt,Just to let you know a cam position sensor does not create rough idle, it can stall the engine at a stop sign,but the solution is a valve job, and who ever put the timing belt on after the job should have done a cylinder effeciency test.
The fuel pump in the petrol tank has a sock that acts as a coarse
filter. This sock gets clogged with muck causing the car to starve of
fuel intermittently and lead to the stalling as you've described. If
you pour in some injector cleaner (contains detergents) or methylated
spirits it may just fix the problem. Condensation (water) in the fuel
creates a slimy goop that clogs filters. It worked for me and my 1992
Daihatsu Charade, and have heard that other cars with similar symptoms
have been cured in the same way, usually after expensive repairs have
already proved unsuccessful . A cheap solution really! Try this first.
Good Luck.
if the vehicle did cut of and if the timing belt is broken chances are you have damaged the valves in the head, the 1.9 engines are famous for it, however i would first install the timing bel and a water pump properly and try starting the car if it starts make sure it is running smooth if it runs rough, or if it fails to stop, you definately have bent valves usually all the exhaust valves and if this be the cse the heaad has to be worked on in a machine shop
