Cool.  I was thinking it was 0.040..  I'll split the difference and set it to 
0.035.

I like to set them on the tight side at .030". I think spec is .040"

OK, Bryan's coming over to my place tonight.  What's the proper air gap
for that sensor on an NB?

I've got feelers and I'll check it out when he's here.  If it's wrong,
I'll reset it.  If it's right, he can buy it and we'll replace it after
he gets it.

Yeah...I priced out a new CPS from Finishline at about $80--nothing too
bad (I wanted to call Tommy for some other parts, anyway).  I've
set air gap on my old Miata, so I'm confident I can do it here.  As
for wires, I can do that, too.  I had suspected that they would
need replacing as well.

not always a magnet, but they're pretty reliable.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor

they sense changes in electromagnetic field when ferrous materials come
close.

And they do occasionally fail.  New ones aren't terribly expensive or
hard
to replace with your standard garage tool set.  Setting the gap is the
most critical part.  Getting the wire in the right place is is the
hardest
part.

Plug wires are pretty darned easy.  Factory or Magnecore--whichever is
cheapest.
