Well, I certainly cannot help you locate the timing marks, but I should be able to point you in the right direction.
The first thing you will want to look for is a triangle "tooth" or some form of pointing device on the crank wheel. If you find that, then you will know where your timing marks are.
If your vehicle is anything like my old Nissan, you will not be this lucky. The way I found mine was to take a non abrasive cloth and a cleaning agent(Bug and Tar remover works amazingly) and clean off everything around the crank wheel. Once you have methodically done that, use a white non permanent marker all the way round your crank wheel and beside it, then re-attach everything, and remove your spark plugs.
Once your spark plugs are removed, put cylinder one's spark plug into the plug wire to create a connection (its easier this way) and have a buddy crank the car while you aim your timing gun at the white marker you painted with. This worked for be because the timing light gave a sharp contrast to the area and I was able to discern the markers. Make dammed sure you don't have your spark plugs in if you try this method. Bad things happen when you compress all that fuel for a while then that baby fires up.

Best stuff to use in my opinion, is Prestone All-Makes. It can safely be added to any colour of coolant (tho I still do not recommend mixing it with Dex-Cool, allthough it says it is fine). You don't have to worry tho yours will not be Dex-Cool as that is a GM type coolant.

So to re-cap, I recommend Prestone All-Makes. You can decide whether you want pre-mixed, which you can pour straight in, or concentrated which will need to be mixed 50/50 with water.

Does a 1991 toyota cressida have a timing belt or a timing chain? If it is a timing belt, how often does it need to be changed? If it is a timing chain does it need to be replaced at all?

On 1997 & prior models, the timing BELT interval for vehicles operated under conditions of excessive idling & or low speed driving for long distances, replace at 60,000 mile intervals.

How to display 1991 toyota cressida error codes..

since the cressida is obd1 you will need to find the diagnosis plug in the engine bay and short out two terminals and look at the cluster and count the amount of times the check engine light blinks and pay close attention to the pauses. i was able to see what the codes meant because my school has the alldata program..
