Timing is purely controlled by the PCM, there is no adjustment, at all.
If you are getting the 'marbles in a tin can' sound on hard acceleration, that is probably spark knock.... A common problem. Usually, it's due to a blown plenum gasket on the intake manifold. Easy to check, just pull off the air filter housing, crack the throttle wide open, and have a look. (flashlight is good for this exercise.) If you see oil in there, you just found the root cause of the issue.
