you need a scan tool to check the timing. You can get close by getting the #1 piston at top dead center, and then dropping the distributor back in, making sure it lines up with the oil pump shaft. then rotate the distributor back and for untill it runs smooth. again this will only get you close. you will still want to have a mech. check with a scan tool.

I would test for a leaking intake manifold gasket. WITH A WATER SPRAYER , and the engine running at operating temps and at idle, spray some water where the intake meets the cylinder head. If you hear a little SUCKING SOUND, and the engine smooths out temporarily, thats it Hope this helps

May want to check and see if the headlight sensor may be defective or covered, this could make the lights stay on, and the headlight would work the same as if it were dark outside.
