How do you set the timing on 1996 Kia Sportage?

mechanically set the timing as follows, 2 cams must be set at 12:00 the crank set at TDC at marks at about 11:00 to 12:00 electronically the base timing is computer controlled and cannot be adjusted, BUT ... say if idle speed is to high then make sure a/c is off,make sure there are no large loads on engine where as the computer is compensating for that.Check for air intake leaks,check for rich condition that the computer is trying to compensate for. your base idle speed on sporatge should be between 770-870.So if idle speed is ok then check your camshaft position sensor,crankshaft position sensor,and of course wiring to ECM. finally your degrees of BTDC @ idle should be 0-12.
