You can't, it is not adjustable, The timing is controled by the computer and there is no reason to mess with the timing.

Now if you Have had the distributor out and put it back in and the engine will run and it has no check engine light on then you got lucky. Now if the light is on then you will have to get an OBD2 engine scanner and then go into the timing mode and move the distributor until you get cam and crank in time and the check engine light will go off. Tighten distributor and the computer will do the rest.
