Electrical System
5. Check and/or adjust ignition module air gap(s). An air gap of 0.28/0.33 mm (0.011/0.013 in.) must be maintained
under all three legs of ignition module(s). Checking/adjusting should be performed with parts at room
temperature.
Condition
Module was not loosened or
replaced.
Module was loosened or replaced.
a. Adjust ignition module air gap.
1. Turn fl ywheel magnet away from module position.
2. Attach module to mounting legs, pull it away from fl ywheel, and tighten screws to hold it temporarily.
3. Rotate fl ywheel so magnet is centered under module.
4. Position a 0.30 mm (0.012 in.) feeler gauge between magnet and all three legs of module. Ignition module
air gap is critical to proper system performance. Do not attempt to set it with a business card or folded
microfi che card. Use feeler gauge specifi ed.
5. Loosen mounting screws, allow magnet to pull module down against feeler gauge, and retighten mounting
screws.
6. Rotate fl ywheel to remove feeler gauge, position magnet back under module, and recheck that specifi ed
gap, minimum of 0.28 mm (0.011 in.), exists under each leg of module. When you are certain gap is
correct, torque module mounting screws to 4.0 N·m (35 in. lb.). Repeat these 6 steps to set other ignition
module.
6. Reattach lead wires to ignition module(s), noting if resistance is felt, indicating a snug fi t between male and
female terminals. If any connections do not feel snug, disconnect lead, lightly pinch female terminal with a pliers,
and recheck fi t.
7. When integrity of all connections has been verifi ed, retest for spark.
Condition
Strong, steady spark is now present
on both sides.
Still a spark problem.

Conclusion
Check that specifi ed air gap is
present under all three legs. If gap is
correct, reinstall second mounting
screw removed earlier and recheck
gap after tightening.
Adjust ignition module air gap.
Conclusion
Go to Test DSAM and perform step 4.
Fully test DSAM.
