Before you set engine timing i recomend that you check for trouble codes. You can do this by jumping TE1 and E1 whitch on your engine is a round 2 wire plug on the drivers side, by air box. if you have a code then have the problem fixed, because some codes will effect engine timing. You must have the TE1 and E1 jumped when timing engine. The engine timing marks are on the oil pump on the front of the engine,down by the crankshaft. Timing is set to 5 degrees advanced(factory). Also make sure you have no vacum leaks they will also effect engine idle 900rpm which is the setting for setting the timing at.

Also make sure your engine distributer cap is good and same for plugs and wires. I hoped this helped.
Also timing chain strech which will affect timing.
