Best to also replace the water-pump, tensioner and idler pulley while your in there.

The computer (ECU) takes care of that. Check this link:

However, it is critical that all the timing marks line up perfectly (cam-gear mark/s and crankshaft pulley mark) when you install the belt.) Take your time and rotate engine clockwise by hand a few times) to be sure the marks are lining up perfectly before you put the cover/s back on. If your belt is off even one tooth ? the engine will run rough at idle etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Now, lets back up a little bit ?

What is the reason your belt needs changing ?

1)...Is the engine running fine and it's just time (mileage-wise) for a T-belt change ?
or ?
2)...Have you had a problem with starting or the way your engine is running and suspect the t-belt is broken or slipping ?

Please respond to this
Thanks,

The car has had the belt changed recently but it seems a bit sluggish at low revs and i thought either the timing belt was a tooth out or the base timing on the engine was out. on most cars that i have dealt with the base timing acn be set by earthing the test connector and then setting the timing. however some motors do not allow the base timing to be altered

Well than, I think after you remove the front covers the crankshaft pulley and some assorted splash covers, you can turn (with the pulley bolt) the crankshaft and observe the marks. If marks are off ? just reposition the existing belt. If all is well ? Your timing concerns are over and something else is causing the 'sluggish' problem.

Best of luck,

P.S. (it's your call but if you haven't already? maybe you should to try to rule out fuel and electrical problems before timing?)
