How to reset timeing on a 1991 chevy lumina 3.1

Timing is not resettable by the user, as the computer controls this based on knock or no knock conditions which will advance or ****** ignition timing for optimum performance.

The valve timing is something that is set when installing the timing chain:

2.5L, 2.8L and 3.1L Engines Fig. 4: Timing chain and sprocket removal - 2.5L engine

Fig. 5: Timing chain and sprocket removal - 1996 3.1L engine shown

Fig. 6: You must use a suitable puller to remove the crankshaft sprocket

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the timing chain front cover assembly, as outlined earlier in this section.
Rotate the crankshaft until the timing marks on the crankshaft sprocket and camshaft sprocket locator hole are aligned to the marks on the engine block or timing chain dampener. This is the No. 1 piston at TDC (No. 4 firing position).
Unfasten the camshaft sprocket retaining bolt/screw, then remove the camshaft sprocket and the timing chain. NOTE: If the camshaft sprocket does not come off easily, a light blow on the lower edge of the sprocket with a rubber mallet should loosen the sprocket.
Remove the crankshaft sprocket using tool J 23444-A or equivalent puller.
If necessary, remove the timing chain dampener retaining bolts, then remove the dampener. To install:
Install the crankshaft sprocket using tool J 38612 until it the sprocket is fully seated on the flange of the crankshaft nose. Apply a coat of Molykote® or equivalent, to the sprocket thrust surface.

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the timing chain front cover.
NOTE: During timing chain and sprocket removal, position the
crankshaft 90 degrees past Top Dead Center (TDC) to make sure the pistons will
not contact the valves upon assembly.
Carefully rotate the crankshaft clockwise so the timing mark on the
crankshaft sprocket and keyway align with the main bearing cap split line.
Remove the bolts, then remove the timing guides and tensioner.
Remove the camshaft sprocket bolts, using a 7?8 in. (21mm) wrench
to hold the camshaft. Then remove the timing chain and camshaft sprocket. Remove
the crankshaft sprocket, if necessary.
To install:
Inspect the chain for wear and damage. Check the inside diameter of the
chain, it should be no more than 23.15 in. (588mm). Inspect the chain guides for
wear or cracks and the timing sprockets for teeth or key wear. Replace
components as necessary.
Verify that the crankshaft is positioned 90 degrees clockwise past TDC. The
crankshaft keyway should be at 3 o'clock aligned with the main bearing cap split
line to prevent piston and valve damage.
Install the camshaft sprockets, retaining bolts and washers. Make sure the
letters FRT on the sprockets face forward, away from the cylinder block. Use the
wrench flats provided on the camshafts to hold the shaft and tighten the bolts
to 75 ft. lbs. (102 Nm).

How do i reset the timing in a 1997 z24 Chevrolet Cavalier 2.4 twin cam? Where are the timing marks on the cam gears?

2.3L and 2.4L Engines Before attempting to remove the timing chain, read the entire procedure.

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the timing chain front cover, as outlined earlier in this section.
Rotate the crankshaft clockwise, as viewed from the front of engine/normal rotation, until the camshaft sprocket timing dowel pin holes line up with the holes in the timing chain housing. The crankshaft sprocket keyway should point upwards and line up with the centerline of the cylinder bores. This is the "timed'' position. Fig. 8: The chain must be in the "timed'' position - 2.3L and 2.4L engines
Fig. 9: Remove the timing chain guides
Remove the timing chain guides.
Raise and safely support the vehicle.
Make sure all of the slack in the timing chain is above the tensioner assembly, then remove the tensioner. The timing chain must be disengaged from any wear grooves in the tensioner shoe in order to remove the shoe. Slide a suitable prytool under the timing chain while pulling the shoe outward. WARNING
Do NOT attempt to pry the socket off the camshaft or damage to the sprocket or chain housing could occur.
If difficulty is encountered in removing the chain tensioner shoe, remove the intake camshaft sprocket, as follows;
1. Carefully lower the vehicle.
2. Hold the intake camshaft sprocket with a suitable tool and remove the sprocket bolt and washer.
3. Remove the washer from the bolt and rethread the bolt back into the camshaft by hand. The bolt provides a surface to push against.
4. Remove the camshaft sprocket using a three-jaw puller in the three relief holes in the sprocket.
Unfasten the tensioner assembly retaining bolts, then remove the tensioner. NOTE: The timing chain and crankshaft sprocket MUST be marked before removal. If the chain or sprocket is installed with the wear pattern in the opposite direction, noise and increased wear may occur.
Mark the crankshaft sprocket and timing chain outer surface for reassembly, then remove the chain.
Clean the old sealant off the bolt with a wire brush. Clean the threaded hole in the camshaft with a round nylon brush. Inspect the parts for wear and replace as necessary. Note that some scoring of the chain shoe and guides is normal. To install: WARNING
Failure to follow this procedure may result in severe engine damage.
Position the intake camshaft sprocket onto the camshaft with the surface marked during removal showing.
Install the intake camshaft sprocket retaining bolt and washer, tighten to 52 ft. lbs. (70 Nm) while holding the sprocket with a suitable tool. Use GM sealant 12345493 or equivalent on the camshaft sprocket bolt.
Place GM tool J 36008, or equivalent camshaft aligning pins, through the holes in the camshaft sprockets into the holes in the timing chain housing. This positions the cams for correct timing.
If the camshafts are out of position and must be rotated more than 1?8 turn in order to install the alignment dowel pins, proceed as follows:
1. The crankshaft MUST be rotate 90°clockwise off of TDC in order to five the valves adequate clearance to open.
2. Once the camshafts are in position and the dowels installed, rotate the crankshaft counter clockwise back to TDC. WARNING
  Do not rotate the crankshaft clockwise to TDC; valve or piston damage could result. NOTE: The side of the timing chain that was marked during removal must be showing when the chain is installed.
Place the timing chain over the exhaust camshaft sprockets, around the idler sprocket and around the camshaft sprocket.
Set the camshafts at the timed position and install the timing chain. Remove the alignment dowel pin from the intake camshaft. Using GM tool J 39579, rotate the intake camshaft sprocket counter clockwise enough to slide the timing chain over the intake camshaft sprocket. Release the camshaft sprocket wrench (J 39579 or equivalent). The length of the chain between the two camshaft sprockets will tighten. If properly timed, the intake camshaft alignment dowel pin should slide in easily. If the dowel pin does not fully index, the camshafts are NOT timed correctly and the procedure must be repeated.
Leave the alignment dowel pins installed. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
With the slack removed from the chain between the intake camshaft sprocket and the crankshaft sprocket, the timing marks on the crankshaft and cylinder block should be aligned. If the marks are not aligned, move the chain one tooth forward or rearward, remove the slack and recheck the marks. Fig. 10: Timing chain assembly retaining bolts - 2.3L and 2.4L engines
Reload the timing chain tensioner assembly to its "zero'' position as follows:
1. Form a keeper from a piece of heavy gauge wire, as shown in the accompanying figure.
2. Apply slight force on the tensioner blade to compress the plunger.
3. Insert a small prytool into the reset access hole, and pry the ratchet pawl away from the ratchet teeth while forcing the plunger completely in the hole.
4. Install the keeper between the access hole and the blade. Fig. 11: Reloading the tensioner to its "ZERO'' position, then install to the chain housing
Install the tensioner assembly to the timing chain housing. Recheck the plunger assembly installation, it is correctly installed when the long end is toward the crankshaft. Install the tensioner retaining bolts; tighten to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm).
Carefully lower the vehicle enough to reach and remove the alignment dowel pins. WARNING
Severe engine damage could result if the engine is not properly timed.
Rotate the crankshaft clockwise (normal rotation) two full rotations. Align the crankshaft keyway with the mark on the cylinder block and reinstall the alignment dowel pins. The pins will slide in easily if the engine is correctly timed.
Install the timing chain guides, then install the front (timing chain) cover.
Connect the negative battery cable.

Ensure slack in timing chain is above tensioner assembly, then remove chain tensioner. The timing chain must be disengaged from grooves in tensioner shoe to permit removal of shoe. Position a suitable screwdriver under timing chain while pulling shoe outward. If difficulty is encountered in removing tensioner shoe, proceed as follows:

Lower vehicle, then while holding the intake camshaft sprocket with J-39579, remove sprocket bolt and washer.
Remove washer, then install bolt into camshaft by hand.
Position a suitable three jaw puller into intake camshaft sprocket relief holes and remove sprocket. CAUTION: Do NOT pry on camshaft sprocket as damage to sprocket or timing chain housing may result.

Tensioner assembly attaching bolts and tensioner assembly.
MARK CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET AND TIMING CHAIN outer surface for reassembly.
Timing chain.

INSTALL OR CONNECT

Intake camshaft sprocket onto camshaft with surface marked during removal showing.
Intake camshaft sprocket retaining bolt and washer, torque to 70 Nm (52 ft lbs) while holding the sprocket with J-39579 (if removed).
Timing pins, J-36008, through holes in camshaft sprockets into holes in timing chain housing to position camshafts for proper timing. If camshafts are out of position and must be rotated more that 1/8 turn to insert timing pins:

Crankshaft MUST be rotated 90°clockwise off of TDC in order to give the valves adequate clearance to open.
Once the camshafts are in position and the timing pins have been installed rotate crankshaft COUNTERCLOCKWISE to TDC. CAUTION: Do NOT rotate the crankshaft clockwise to TDC, valve or piston damage could occur.

Timing chain over exhaust camshaft sprocket, around idler sprocket and around crankshaft sprocket.
Set camshaft sprockets at timed position and install timing chain. Remove timing pin from intake camshaft. Using J-39579, rotate the intake camshaft sprocket counterclockwise until timing chain can be installed over sprocket. Release J-39579 after timing chain has been installed over sprocket. The length of chain between intake and exhaust camshaft sprockets should tighten. The timing pin should easily fit through intake camshaft sprocket timing hole into timing chain housing timing hole. If timing pin does not fully index, the camshafts are NOT timed correctly and the procedure MUST be repeated.
With timing pins installed, raise and support vehicle.
With slack removed from timing chain between intake camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket, timing marks on crankshaft and engine block should be aligned. If the marks are not aligned, move timing chain one tooth forward or rearward to align marks. Remove slack and recheck marks.
Reload tensioner assembly to zero position as follows:

Form a keeper out of heavy gauge wire into a U-shaped piece with a half inch opening.
Apply slight force on tensioner blade to compress plunger.
Insert small screwdriver into reset access hole and pry rachet pawl away from ratchet teeth while forcing the plunger completely in the hole.
Install keeper between access hole and blade.

Tensioner assembly to chain housing and recheck plunger assembly installation, noting long end is toward crankshaft.
Tighten timing chain tensioner bolts to 10 Nm (89 in lbs) .
Lower vehicle to point where timing pins can be removed from camshaft sprockets.
Rotate crankshaft two revolutions in the clockwise direction. Align crankshaft keyway with the mark on cylinder block and reinstall timing pins through camshaft sprockets into housing timing holes. Timing pins should slide easily through timing holes. If timing pins cannot be inserted easily, repeat procedure to properly time engine. CAUTION: If the engine is not correctly timed, severe engine damage could occur.
Timing chain guides.
Engine front cover.
Negative battery cable.

Each gear has an arrow and a dot. The chain should have two differently colored links. Position the crankshaft sprocket so the arrow is pointed up with the dot to your right. Position the camshaft sprocket with the arrow pointed straight down at the crankshaft sprocket and it's dot should also be to the right. The colored links on the chain should be lined up with the dots.
