Where are the timing marks on a 1996 Chevy Corsica 2.2 engine?

There are none. Ignition timing is not adjustable. Ignition timing and spark advance are handled by the engine controller module and the ignition control module, with inputs from various sensors. The engine controller is located by the passenger kick panel. The ignition controller is the thing the ciol pack mount on...it runs about $110 new. The ignition controller is often the cause of rough running, or idle problems as the spark advance function tends to crap out on this model of DIS ignition. Producing a constant error code, and therefore a constant check engine light.
