find the timing spec on the label under the hood ( i think its 10 degrees BTC) get engine to operating temperature find the grey plug in the engine compartment labeled "diagnosis" open the cover and with a jumper wire, connect tmls. TE1 and E1 (this makes the engine run at base timing) clamp timing light around #1 plugwire clip power and ground leads of timing light to battery shine on timing marks, if the timing is off loosen the 2 12mm bolts securing the distributor to the head and twist until the mark on the pulley matches the spec. tighten the bolts remove timing light and jumper

you cannot adjust the ignition timing on this car. a manual will help if you need to set cam timing
To set the timing on a 1987 Toyota Tercel, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover, then align them. Adjust the distributor by loosening its hold-down bolt and rotating it until the timing mark on the pulley aligns with the specified degree mark on the timing cover, typically 10-12 degrees BTDC. Finally, tighten the distributor bolt and recheck the timing to ensure proper alignment.
Get a shop manual from the parts store and it will show you what to set them at and give tips on how to replace it. GoodluckJoe

I only know about the 2004 V6 I have. There is no way to set the timing. The engine computer controls the timing. Not much one can do to newer cars today. Some of the members of the Toyota Nation forum are interested in more power and performance. Maybe one of them can tell you how to set the timing. If you are talking about changing the timing belt,visit Toyota Nation forum.
