If you konw where its supoosed to be at let mek now i have searched didn find anything,
I have a 1997 Honda Civic Sedan 4 door
stock motor....

 

why do you need to check timing anyway? you off a tooth or something?

but anyway jump your timing connector, i believe for your car its below the passenger dash near the ecu. should be coming off a wire harness.
use a paper clip, cotter pin or w/e....

start your car and warm it up. get your timing light out set your timing light at 16 degrees. the pointer on the timing cover should line up with the red mark. if its a bit off, move your dizzy. thats it...

 

that "V" should line up with the middle mark which is 16*btdc

 

will there is the sight and than theres a pointer...you need to look through both to line up correctly
