Thanks guys! Also remember, you cannot set the timing properly IF base idle is messed up! For those people, here is another write-up I did on how to adjust idle. Base idle for manual transmission GA16DE is 650 RPM, 750 RPM for automatic. Make sure idle is correct BEFORE adjusting timing!

1. Warm up and shut off
2. Disconnect fan and TPS
3. Restart and rev 3 times to 3000 rpms
4. Adjust via idle screw, clockwise idle decreases, counterclockwise idle increases
5. Once idle is set, turn off and reconnect TPS and fan
