FACTS The third-generation Fiesta Mark III, codenamed BE-13, was unveiled at the end of 1988 ENGINE 1989–1995 HCS 1.0L, 1.1 L, 1.3 L (used in Fiesta Mk.3, Orion Mk.2/Escort Mk3-6) A PUSH ROD ENGINE (OHV)
The HCS engine is easily distinguishable from the original Valencia by the rocker cover, head and block being painted grey instead of black, the presence of a crankshaft position sensor adjacent to the starter motor, and the absence of a distributor drive on the rear face of the cylinder block. The mechanical fuel pump also has a return line to tank, whereas the original Valencia did not. The HCS also has a "mirrored" spark plug arrangement where the plug leads appear to be splayed outwards, whilst on the original Valencia they are all at the same angle. OHV PUSH RODS TO CAM AND SHORT CHAIN DRIVE. I AM NO SURE WHAT ENGINE IS REALLY THERE NOR FUELING PARTS
is this a question told as a statement.

car is in South Africa?
get it serviced, or read he service manual and do it
DIY.
If not in the owners manual, look in the maintenance guide. If it has a belt rather than timing chain, it will likely be in the 100,000 mile ballpark. Gates products lists engines that are subject to damage with a broken belt, and engines that require belt replacement. If you can't find your engine listed, it has a chain. www.gates.com to start
Call your local ford dealer serial no. model no. and reg of the car and they can get it for you. If you have the owners manual pack for the car there will an audio book in this normally front or back cover there will be a small white stick on label with the code or also in the service record book
