The water pump is driven by the timing belt, so.....afraid not.
how do you set the timing belt on a 1997 ford contour 2.0 4cy
The ignition timing is non-adjustable. It is strickly electronic, and you cannot change it. The valve timing is controlled by the timing belt. If it has jumped time, you have to remove the timing cover to access the belt, replace it, and set it to the correct specifications.
It is a timing belt and it is best to replace the idler, tensioner and belt at once. Also, the water pump if it is high mileage.
80,ooo miles
