loosen the tensioner bolt..turn the crank bolt a few turns manually counterclockwise. tighten bolt back down. This worked for me...haven't had any issues.

Go up to the FAQs, go to the links for the factory service manuals, and download the one for your car. It has the exact factory steps on how to do the timing belt change and tensioning.
