CarGurusJan 18, 2015 - I have went in and replaced the water pump and the timing belt. ...Align the crankshaft sprocket (10) with the TDC mark (9) on the oil pump cover. 2. ...and then just shut off and won't restart? try unplugging the cam ... The two timingmarks for the camshafts are lined up and the crank is lined up with TDC.

Timing Belt Change - Miata.net

Hi Scott, Work evolved in replacing a water pump depends on the vehicle. Some vehicles have the pump driven by the timing belt, while others drive via a 'V' belt or PK (Serpentine belt) If your is the latter, take a few photographs of the lacing for the reassembly before doing any disassembly. If it is a vehicle using the timing belt, photograph the serpentine belt and then remove it and the timing cover. Before removing the timing belt, rotate the engine to TDC and align the timing marks before taking off the belt. It is always a good idea to paint a spot of white paint onto the gears and the engine. Once the match marks have been identified and aligned, loosen the tensioner bearing fully before removing the belt. When refitting, set the marks by adjusting the belt alignment on the opposite side to the side fitted with the tensioner. Once aligned, retention and check the alignment again. If you're happy turn the engine by hand at least four times and recheck the matching up of the marks each second turn. Changing the water pump is straight forward and child's play compared to the associated work. Regards John

TIMING BELT & SPROCKETS R & I
NOTE: Some procedures may differ slightly due to engine
construction.
Removal
1) Remove all necessary air ducts. Position No. 4 piston at
TDC of compression stroke. Align timing marks. See Fig. 2. Remove fan
and fan shroud. Remove belts. If necessary, remove radiator and
splashguard.
2) Prevent engine from rotating and remove crankshaft timing
pulley retaining bolt. Remove upper and lower timing belt covers.
Remove spring from tension pulley. Loosen adjusting bolt and move
pulley toward water pump. Remove timing belt.
CAUTION: Ensure pistons are at TDC when rotating camshaft or damage
may result.
Inspection
1) Handle timing belt carefully. Avoid twisting or kinking
belt. Do not allow belt to become contaminated by water, oil, dirt or
other contaminates. Inspect belt for cracks or damage. If necessary,
replace.
2) Measure tension pulley spring length and force. Spring
length should not exceed 2.76" (70.2 mm) and spring force should not
be less than 197-347 lbs. (27-48 kg).
3) Replace tension pulley spring if not within specification.
Installation
1) Pull tensioner fully toward water pump side and
temporarily tighten retaining bolt. Ensure No. 4 cylinder is at TDC on
compression stroke by rotating crankshaft until keyway aligns with
mark on front crankshaft seal housing (12 o'clock). Rotate camshaft
until timing mark on cam gear (arrow) aligns with mark on upper
camshaft cover (notch). See Fig. 2.
NOTE: When timing marks are aligned as stated above, No. 4 piston
is at TDC on compression stroke.
2) Position timing belt over crankshaft sprocket, oil pump
sprocket, camshaft sprocket and tensioner in that order. Ensure belt
is positioned in sequence given and without slack between sprockets.
Loosen tension sprocket adjusting bolt allowing spring tension to
tighten belt. Tighten adjusting bolt temporarily.
3) Temporarily install crankshaft pulley bolt and rotate
crankshaft 2 complete revolutions in opposite direction of engine
rotation, until marks on crankshaft and front oil seal retainer are
aligned again. See Fig. 2. Loosen tensioner lock bolt, allowing
tesioner spring to fully adjust tension. Tighten tensioner lock bolt.
4) Install timing belt covers. To complete installation,
reverse removal procedures. Tighten all bolts to specification. See
TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table at end of this article.

YOu always need a TDC.
It is very simple if you do it correctly as following:
1 - Timing the ignition at cylinder #1
2- Make sure the piston # 1 is up for compression stage, not exhaust stage. It means if the cylinder #1 is up, then the intake and exhaust vales are not opened.
3- The crankshaft mark and the camshaft mark has to be aligned at the straight point, this is why we call TDC.
4- To have an easy time to turn the camshaft for aligning, it is best to take off all the spark plugs so you don't have to work against the compression built up whenever the pistons move up.
good luck
