Is the 1997 ford contour 2.5L dohc duratec engine an interference design. Will the valves contact the pistons when a timing component fails?

The 2.5 L Duratec engine has two timing chains so yes, it's interference. They usually can handle 200k miles though. If it breaks, it is likely smashed the valves.

Since you are asking, I assume you have a V6 Duratec powered contour. If this is the case, the IMRC is located just in front of the engine, underneath the IMRC cover, the plastic cover mounted to the engine with several screws and says "Duratec" on it.

Is a 2002 Ford Ranger 2.3l an interference motor?
No. You can break the timing belt and not have any problems from valves getting bent. The caveat is that you don't have after market high compression pistons installed. If it is an unmolested factory motor, just change the timing belt and forget about it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The 2.3 L in a 2002 Ford Ranger is a DOHC engine ( DURATEC ? ) that uses a timing CHAIN . I don't know if it is an interference motor or not

How would you know if your water pump in a 1997 ford contour was bad?
The 2.5L Duratec V6 in the 1995 to 1997 Ford Contour was known to have a water pump that typically failed at approximately 60,000 miles. The plastic impeller would fail after time under the normal engine temperatures and pressures. Fortunately, though, the engine designers put the water pump at the front of the engine bay, making it easy to replace. If you are having overheating problems, it's a pretty good chance the pump impeller has failed to some degree.
