If you are trying to time car. There are two plugs in the same area. the one with the rubber cap on it is the one to retard timing. I think with the tab facing up the bottom left and bottom middle slots should retard timing. I dont think this will turn engine lite on ,or mabye it does (never looked)

My plug is a 6 pin and is located behind the (US) passenger side headlight, usually there is a mauve/yellow wire going to it. I forget the other colours. The pics below should help:

I've got 91 tracker and had a similar issue.  My uncle at the local college got me a print out.  It is the four wire plug just by the battery, I think one of the wires is black/grey stripe.  I'll check my paper work and get back to you.

I think the plug is white and the other is black ,use the white one and if you turn your key to on,not start,just on, your check engine light should flash a code 12 3 times. This is a way to check your trouble codes.
 
 I think you use the same one to time your engine too?
but ive been wrong before.

I got a print out from a local college automotive computer system.  It is for 91 tracker.  Probably the same for many others:
  -Run engine until it reaches operating temp
  -shut off
  -jumper wire(short piece of wire stripped at both ends) between black and blue/red wire
   located in diagnostic four wire plug just infront of the battery, by the fusable links. 
  -Insert jumper
  -Turn key to ignition for 5 sec
  -Start engine
  -Perform Timing check
  -Shut off and remove jumper.
