connect the terminals of the service connector with a jumper wire and set the timing with a timing light

The car will run high egt and won't have any power if you drive it with the timing locked.Why do you want to do this?

Locking the timing with the service connector is only for setting your base timing.After that is set you disconnect the jumper and let the ecu adjust the timing as needed.
