If the engine runs rough after a timing belt change, the belt may not have been tightened properly. It may also mean that the wrong timing belt was installed. Either way, it needs to be taken back to the mechanic.
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.)

Why is your Tahoe motor skipping and popping?
One of the reasons why a Tahoe motor would skip and pop could be due to a loose timing chain. Some of the other causes of a loose timing chain are rough idle, sluggish performance, and the sudden change in the engine performance.
