At freeway speeds it would loose power and sputter and the check engine light would flash. Now it won't start. PLEASE help! (If it's the heated oxygen sensor, which one should I replace)

What's the best way to check the fuel pressure and the timing belt? I have experienced the same problem on a 98 Escort.
