Set the gearshift selector to "Park" for an automatic transmission or to neutral and apply the parking brake for a manual transmission. Turn all accessories (lights, radio, etc.) off.
If you have a magnetic timing tool, insert the probe into the hole next to the timing window on the transmission bell housing. If you have a "timing light", connect the light's probe to the #1 cylinder spark plug wire. You may need to remove the air box to get a clear view of the window. If so, plug all open vacuum lines.
Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature (idle for 5 to 10 minutes in 70 degree temperatures).
With the engine running, disconnect the coolant temperature sensor wire. This forces the computer to stop controlling spark advance and set it to whatever the base is. The sensor is located on the left side of the water box (where the thermostat housing mounts). If the engine stumbles, open the throttle slightly until the engine idle stabilizes.
Read the timing tool or point the timing light at the window and pull the trigger. If using a timing light, you should see the timing mark on the fly wheel line up to the desired degree mark. The proper stock base timing is specified on the VECI label, which is usually located on the under-side of the hood. 12 degrees advanced is typical for a turbo engine. If the timing is correct, shut the engine off, reconnect the coolant temperature sensor wire, and reassemble anything that was taken apart. If the timing was incorrect, or you could not see the timing mark (make sure you are connected to cylinder #1 if using a timing light), then proceed to the next step.
Loosen the bolt on the distributor hold down bracket so that the distributor can be rotated with some friction.
Rotate the distributor slowly until the desired timing is reached. Rotating clockwise will retard the timing, while rotating counter-clockwise will advance the timing. If you could not see the timing mark, try advancing or retarding the timing until the mark appears in the window. If you cannot make the mark appear, you may not have lined up the intermediate shaft properly when installing the timing belt.
Once the desired timing has been achieved, always allow the engine to settle back to normal idle and recheck the timing. Once the timing is set, tighten the distributor hold down bolt. Reconnect the coolant temperature sensor wire, shut the engine off, and reassemble anything that was taken apart.
