Need diagram for timming to set on 1998 2.2 4cyl

Hello Jm_green.

In 1998 the 2.2 Sunfire has no way to set ignition timing.
Timing is set by reading crankshaft position (not adjustable) and that signal is sent to the computer which in turn signals the ignition module when to fire the coils.

Just in case you are talking about changing the timing gears, here is a diagram.

5 speed manual transmission wont shif gears while running

You probably have air in the system. You need to bleed the air out of the system so that it will disengage your clutch. The air in the system is compressing and, therefore, the slave cylinder can't reach the full extension.
