There is no timing procedure. Install the timing belt with the crank and cam sprockets lined up like they are supposed to be and then that's it. This isn't a small block Chevy where you need to adjust the distributor afterwards. The cam sensor and crank sensor do the timing electronically. Install the belt properly and go.

So I just finished replacing the timing belt cam sensor water pump coolant pipe o rings and all the associated gaskets started the car ran fine shut it off to finish getting all the covers back on and now it wont start at all I tried doing a key on engine off test but it wont pull any codes i put a new dis module and cam sensor and a control module out of a running sho any help would be appreciated.. oh and no tach signal while cranking
Had almost the exact same thing happen on my SHO after a timing belt/water pump job. Car fired right up the first time, ran perfectly for a few minutes, shut it off to finish buttoning everything up, then suddenly just cranked with no start and no tach movement at all. Turned out the crank sensor connector wasn’t fully seated and got bumped while I was putting the covers back on. These cars are super sensitive to that RPM signal. I’d definitely go back through the crank sensor wiring, DIS connections, and grounds before chasing anything else. Since it ran once already, I’d bet something got disturbed during reassembly rather than a major failure.
