How do you adjust the timing on a 1993 Geo Metro hatchback with the three cylinder engine?
This requires a timing light
You're supposed to put a jumper wire between the ground terminal and the test switch terminal of the diagnostic connector plug before adjusting the timing. The connector plug is on the firewall under the hood, next to the coil. If you look at the socket straight on with the plastic catch on the left, ground is the lower right hole, test switch is right above it. Then hook up the timing light.
The distributor is held in place by two bolts in adjustment slots. Rotate the distributor clockwise to retard timing, counterclockwise to advance timing.

How do you adjust the timing on a 1986 Jeep CJ7 258 CI straight six cylinder engine?
To adjust the timing on a 1986 Jeep CJ7 with a 258 CI straight six-cylinder engine, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature. Next, locate the timing mark on the harmonic balancer and the timing tab on the engine. Use a timing light connected to the number one cylinder spark plug wire to check the timing; adjust it by loosening the distributor hold-down bolt and rotating the distributor until the desired timing mark aligns with the tab. Finally, tighten the distributor bolt and recheck the timing to ensure it remains in the correct position.
How do you adjust the timing on a 1997 Mazda 626 LX 4-cylinder 2.0L?
To adjust the timing on a 1997 Mazda 626 LX with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn off the ignition. Locate the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley and the timing scale on the engine block. Use a timing light connected to the number one spark plug wire, and then start the engine.
