Ford Tempo The Ford Tempo is an American-built two-door coupe and four-door sedan produced by the Ford Company from 1984 to 1994. It was the successor to the Ford Fairmont, and was replaced in 1994 by the Ford Contour. The Tempo was part of a rejuvenation by Ford to offer more environmentally friendly, fuel efficient, and more modern styled models to compete with the imports.

Sounds like the timing belt slipped and it is now off time.

there is no manual 2.9 tfi
for a t/t
theres 3 options 2.3 4 cyl-timing chain
3.0 v6 -timing chin
and a 2.0 desiel
the desiel is the only one that used a timing belt.
however if you have the 3.0 note the ditributor gears loved to wear out and can cause what you have going on.
if its the 2.3 let us know and we can get started here.
