What marks on my timing gears do i use when changing timing belt on 97 escort 2.0?

The camshaft gear has an arrow, but the crank has a circle and a small %26quot;nub%26quot;. I lined up the arrow on the cam at 12 o;clock and took off the belt and replaced it. now the car runs but barley accelerates. im pretty sure the crank gear is a cog off. so what do i use to make sure its correct?|||Regardless if the marks are different, THEY ARE the marks that need to be lined up. Your not getting gas because your timing is still off. When the marks are lined up and the belt is in place, the timing becomes off when you put on the belt tensioner. So you have to re-check your marks. The belt will slightly move because the tensioner is on, therefore turning you mark off. So count how many teeth it is off and remove the belt and adjust it in the opposite direction so when the belt and tensioner are back on your timing will line up perfectly and you%26#039;ll be cruising in no time.|||wel you know your answer its off a tooth or more but a timing light would get it other than having to start over anyways just move it over a tooth|||there is a gage hole in the cam gear. put something like a drill bit in the hole so the cam won,t turn while your putting the belt on.|||You should find a repair manual that describes and shows how the marks must be aligned. An auto parts store may allow you to look without buying or the library may have one that you can review. Don%26#039;t just guess. In this case, the old saying %26quot;A picture is worth a thousand words%26quot; is really true!
