Yes, these engines are interference engines. The valves may hit the pistons when belt breaks/jumps time. Don't put off changing timing belts on these kind of engines.

Will a broken timing belt on a ford escort zx2 damage the engine?
A broken timing belt on a Ford ZX2 will not damage the engine. The 2.0 ZETEC engine used in the ZX2 is a non-interference engine which means the pistons will not come into contact with the valves should the belt break. Because of this the valves will not be damaged and no engine damage will occur.

According to the information I have, no, though Gates claims it does. I've seen timing belts break on these engines with no damage to valves.
Would a jump timing belt cause a hard start on a escort zx2?
It all depends on how many teeth of the timing belt jumped. One or two and it would start but have no power. If the belt is broken it won't start at all. A zx2 is a non interference engine so if the timing belt was to break it wouldn't damage the engine. Look into the top of the engine through the oil filler cap with a flashlight while someone cranks the engine. If you can see movement then the belt isn't broken. I've never heard of an Escort jumping time although it can happen.
