Not sure about Ford routing but you normally can find the routing on the front radiator brace when you raise the hood. It is pretty much standard for the manufactures to put it there.
Are you talking about the cam drive belt or the accessory drive serpentine belt? What engine, the 2.0 liter 4-cylinder, or the 2.5 liter V6? If it's the serpentine belt, does it have air conditioning?
If the spark plugs were fuel fouled, you could have washed the oil off the cylinder walls causing the low compression. Or the cam timing could be off because the timing belt jumped a few teeth, or the cam gear broke. I would pull the fuel pump fuse or relay and try to dry out the cylinders first. And re-check the timing belt. The serpentine belt would not have any connection to the car not starting.
the timing belt is scheduled for replacement at 60K miles, but I dont know why the serpentine belt would break? see if the cam is turning, maybe peek in where you add oil.
No. The timing belt is a toothed belt that drives the camshaft via sprockets on the camshaft and crankshaft; and it is located behind the timing cover and not visible until the cover is removed. The serpentine belt is a long ribbed belt that drives the accessories on the engine, e.g.: the alternator, power steering pump, and A/C compressor etc. It is in the open and visible.
support engine. remove coolant reservoir. remove serpentine belt. remove serpentine belt tensioner. remove bolts from mount. carefully raise engine up and move mount out of the way.(hard to explain and this is hard to do you have to have the engine in the perfect position and whatnot) remove the top plastic cover. with 19mm socket rotate engine clockwise until hole in cam lines up with hole in head. insert vw special tool to hold cam. remove the 4 6mm bolts on crank pulley. remove plastic covers. with white paint, mark belt to cam and belt to crank. loosen tensioner. remove belt. transfer marks to new belt. strongly suggest replacing water pump. reinstall t-belt. put the tensioner somewhat tight. rotate the engine fully twice. loosen tensioner bolt and adjust to perfect tension using needle and v-groove on adjuster. install is reverse of removal.
