Look somewhere under the hood, on the fan shroud, hood underlayment, firewall or somewhere else for a timing belt configuration sticker. on the sticker it will tell you how the belt goes. You need a tension tool. Find the notches on the pulleys, DOHC = 2 pulleys. SOHC = 1 pulley. Line up the notch on the pulley(s) to the notch somewhere on the backing plate. Without moving the pulley(s) use the tension tool to pull the tension on the tension pulley. Wrap belt on. Release tension pulley....
