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 Possible Cause Conclusion

Module was not loosened or

replaced.

Ignition Module Air Gap 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.

Module was loosened or replaced. Ignition Module Adjust ignition module air gap.

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 Possible Cause Conclusion

Strong, steady spark is now present

on both sides.

Still a spark problem. DSAM Fully test DSAM.
