the wheel should be at your drivers side, under the alternator pulley, youll see this
Y or V looking thing just popping out... aim the gun down and make sure its aligned right... for 5th gens i think its 15 degrees.. if you dont have access to a gun, shops usually charge 15-20$ to check and set it for you... if you do have one, adjusting the dizzy clockwise tards it, counter clockwise advance it.
