I am trying to change my alternator and I can't seem to find anywhere on the engine where it says 1.9L or 1.8L, it makes a difference in how I'm suppose to go about fixing the alternator.How I can find the difference between a 1999 Ford Escort zx2 1.9L and 1.8L Engine?
I don't think a 1999 ZX2 came with either engine. The 1.9L engine is a Ford engine that was used in Escorts model years up 1996. The 1.8L engine is actually a Mazda engine used only in the Escort GTs of that era. If it's a 1999 ZX2, it should be equipped with a 2.0L Zetec VCT engine. I wouldn't recommend attempting to change the alternator on that particular car yourself, unless you are fairly skilled, as it is very difficult to access on that particular model. Hope this helps.
