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.
sounds like the timing is one(maybe two) teeth out of time on the timing belt. the computer is trying to advance or ****** the timing to compensate for the misaligned camshaft spockets.
It sounds like your balance belt might be broken. I have a 1991 Mighty Max that experienced the same problem. My water pump started leaking and as I was replacing it, I discovered the balance belt was also broken after removing many parts on the front of the engine in getting to the water pump. It's a small rubber belt that turns opposite of the crankshaft to keep the engine from shaking at idle. My engine is still torn down, as I don't know how to replace the balance belt. Sure could use some advice on this repair.
How long has it been since you had the belt replaced. Did you have a shop do it. Sounds like the timing belt might be off a tooth, can you take it back and have them recheck the timing?
these vehicles overheat real fast when u noticed the water pump leak yu should have replaced it now i think that you have over heated the head and the heads have to be removed , check for cracks and most probably you will end up doing a valve job and replacement of the head gasket, water pump and the timing belt. sorry not very cheap at all
could be many things. timing chain or belt could be the problem. Low transmission fluid could be another or even week fuel pump or clogged fuel filter there is so many causes for that.
