06 Quest SE VQ 3.5 V6 L What is the Best Way to Time This VQ?

[Pauli925]

What is the best way to set the timing and time the VQ?
Heard and read something about using some kind of Loop? On one of the ignition coils to use a timing light?
and that's how the factory sets the timing on the motors? Any and All Tech Insight along with Aftermarket plug in Tuners would be great to hear about

There's nothing to set unless you tune the ECM. It's a COP ignition with spark timing determined by the ECM using the CKP and CMP signals. It's strictly software, there's no external means to change it like you would an old school dizzy.
