 1G-GTE timing

Hi guys,
Just playing with the timing of my car. When I short the TE1 and E1 pins in the diagnostics plug, the timing doesn't change. It was sitting on 35 and didn't move when the pins were shorted. I set the timing to 25 and drove around like that for a few weeks.
Then I did the timing again. Same thing this time too, shorting the pins didn't move the timing off 25... This time I set it to 10 degrees and it's running really badly.
The timing was done by different people with different equipment each of the times.
Is this a bit suspect?
Is there a current that goes across the pins? ie: Can I use a test light to check that I have the pins shorted?
My car is running like shit and it's pissing me off.

What does Earthing out the pins actually do for you Nark? is it really a good idea!!!!!?
And how do u time a modern engine engine like this? is it still to do with twisting the dizzy?

Shorting out the pins sets the ECU into a special mode where you can do the timing. If the two pins aren't shorted, then the timing that it sits at during idle is different.... That's what I've been told at least... It's supposed to sit at 35 degrees advanced during idle... Connecting the TE1 and E1 pins together will set it to the correct timing so that you can change it.
And yeah, timing is done the same. Loosen the dizzy and twist.
