Can the timing being a slight bit off make a 95 ford contour run rough?

The ignition timing on Contour engines is controlled by the computer, and is not adjustable. However, if you're talking about the 4-cylinder 2.0 liter, it uses a timing belt for the cams, and if it is worn and slips a tooth, it would cause some real problems. (The 2.5 liter V6 isn't subject to this, as it uses a timing chain for the cams.)

Sounds like maybe the timing belt/timing chain broke or jumped. If it will not run at all, I'd guess broke.


If the timing belt breaks on your 1999 Ford Contour will it cause engine damage?

most snapped timing belts will in most cases cause engine damage,the only exception would be a freewheeling engine were valve to piston contact would be minimal an interference type engine would cause damage.


What do you do if the timing belt breaks and how do you know if that is what happened?

If you think your Timing Belt broke DO NOT try to crank your car, if you continue to crank you car with a severed timing belt you will cause more damage. The only way you can tell for sure if the timing belt broke is to remove the upper timing cover and inspect the belt. If you see a naked cam sprocket your timing belt has broken and you will most likely need a top end engine rebuild.

It can if it isn't delivering enough fuel to the engine. More than likely you need to have your timing checked.
