OK, Connect terminals T1 and E1 on the Diagnostic port and start the engine checking that it idles at 650RPM [sorry, I know you say there's a problem starting, but I guess you will just have to experiment with the timing to get it *somewhere* near first :S]

Then turn the cam position sensor until it reads at 10 degrees BTDC with a timing light. (This is done with transmission in Neutral btw). Then, remove the T1/E1 link and re-start the engine and check that the ignition timing retards to between 10-12 degrees BTDC @ idle

Hope that info is of some help?
