You will want to jumper the same connector used to show the engine codes. This will remove any timing advance the ECU is using. Make sure your idle speed is set correctly and that the engine is warm.
You can do this with the car running, however, you should have a timing light instead of guessing.

Yeah what he said. In case you don't know where the service connector is, its right above the ecu. A lime green rubber boot will be holding it. Just pull it out and bridge the two sides with a tool of your choice.

Re: how to manually retard timing on d16y8 (swrdply400mrelay)
When you set the timing via the distributor, you are setting the base timing value.
As rpms are increased, there is less time to ignite the a/f mix, thus advanced timing is needed. There are other parameters that play into the final timing value, just giving an example of one.
Answer the Q?
