You can't ->
You probably didn't check the timing right, either. The factory service manual lists a detailed, specific driving routine you must follow before checking the timing.
The timing is electronic. There's no adjustment you can make. The good thing is it's nearly impossible for the timing to be off more than a degree or two either way.

I'm pretty sure I did it correctly >>>>
I have an AUTO so it must be in Neutral, car had to be in operating temperature which it was, rev the car 2-3 times to 3000 rpm and then let it idle for about 30 secs to stabalize, take reading. Am I missing anything ???? Or doing anything wrong ???? Please let me know. I switched out my ECU to the Stock ECU and it was still the same 5-8 degrees BTDC. Here is what it looks like:
__ First Marker
__ this is where my Timing is at(the little pointer)
__ 15 Degrees
__ 20 Degrees

Well, the 4th gen has a chain, not a belt. I don't think there is a way to adjust it. The only way I could see it being off is if it jumped a few teeth. If thats the case, I think you would know it was off.

There is also an electric plug that changes the vacuum
