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

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. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Bryan Wyatt Sent: Thu 5/29/2008 3:17 PM To: Miata Power List Subject: RE: '02 Bucking Without CEL - Update 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. -Bryan No signature...the choice of a New Generation --- On Thu, 5/29/08, Matt Yates <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Matt Yates <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: '02 Bucking Without CEL - Update To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: "Miata Power List" <[email protected]>, "Miata Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, May 29, 2008, 3:13 PM 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.
