If the gap is good, but it was coding, I'd replace it. Bill Cardell TurboDog's Dad www.flyinmiata.com www.fmwestfield.com Sales 1-800-359-6957 Tech 970-464-5600 Come to our Open House! August 14-17

When added to the fact that I couldn't find any loose wires--rubbing or otherwise--and the fact that there was a stored P0335 (Crankshaft Position Sensor Circuitry Malfunction), it sounds like replacing the Crank Position Sensor is the best thing to do. Any thoughts? -Bryan --- On Thu, 5/29/08, Bill Cardell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Bill Cardell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: '02 Bucking Without CEL - Update To: "Chad J.

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.
