NOTE: The link shown above is for replacing the timing gears and timing belt on a ZX2 engine, which is essentially the same as the 4-cylinder 2.0 liter engine as used in some Contours. It is correct in and of itself. If, however, your question was about the 2.5 liter V6 engine, the procedure is considerably different.

Also, if you were just asking about adjusting the ignition timing, the answer is considerably simpler: you don't. Ignition timing on these engines is controlled by the computer.
