94 mist gelant timing?

First of all I am guessing it's a 1800cc engine.
I hope you haven't tried to turn the engine over as this engine is a interferance fit and as such engine damage is likely to occur from valves hitting pistons if so.
Timing is very easy on this car.
After removing all neccessary covers.

Turn engine on crank to align mark on camshaft sprocket aligns with mark on rear cover 10 o,clock posistion and make sure mark on crank pulley align with mark on block at 1 o,clock posistion.
make sure tensioner is slackened off.
Fit timing belt in anti-clockwise direction. starting at crank pulley.
ensure belt is taut on non tensioned side.
slacken tensioner and allow to work then re-tighten tensioner.
turn crank pulley by hand 2 revolutions then re-check marks to make sure belt is aligned still.
tensioner bolt should be tightened to 24Nm.
crank pulley to 185Nm.
put all covers back on and away you go easy.
