Well you take pulley from the Crankshaft and have the three tick marks all facing up with the middle one perfectly straight up, then the camshaft one al lstraight up as well, and then you throw the belt on?
Is that how you do it? And how do you take the check engine wires and jump them, where can you get acess to them?

Yeah, you have to put the timing belt on when you have the white mark on the crank aligned with the mark on the lower timing belt cover and both (or one if you are working on a SOHC) cam gears facing TDC.

As for the service connector, it all depends on the OBD of the car. Usually it is a blue plug surrounded by rubber hidden underneath the passenger kick panel to the right of the glovebox.

That doesn't sound right... Besides, you never said what kind of Honda? It matters. Most often it's like this:

For the camshaft timing you want the TDC mark, which is the single mark on the crank pulley. Don't use the set of 3. There's a pointer in the plastic lower timing cover, it's probably not straight upwards. Then there's the arrows on the cam sprockets, those are only supposed to point sorta upwards. The REAL timing marks are little dimples out at the teeth that line up horizontally. SOHC they line up with the top of the head, or the top of the inner timing cover or something like that. DOHC, they all 4 line up with a straitedge across the camshaft centers.

Usually, there's also a mark on the crankshaft sprocket, & a mark on the oil pump. You can use that when the lower timing cover isn't installed.

For spark timing, use the set of 3 marks together on the crank pulley. The center one is bigger, that's stock spark timing. The little ones define the +/- tolerance.
