Mazda recommends replacing the timing belt every 60,000 miles. If you didn't do it at 60,000, DO IT NOW. Not sure if this is a zero-clearance engine, but I don't believe it is.

How do you reset jumped timing on 99 ford contour 2.0?

The only reason the timing would have jumped is if the belt has lost some teeth which it will do right before it breaks. The timing belt should be replaced before the car is driven or the motor started again. If the belt breaks while the engine is running, it can cause major damage to the head and possibly the block.
