Do I have to adjust air gap when replacing new CPK on a 07 Suzuki XL-7?

What is your question?

I have a 07 Suzuki Xl7 with crank no start issue. I’ve got no fuel/ignition pulse. When replacing the crank position sensor, should I adjust new sensor for air gap? If so what should the gap be? Ive bought a AC Delco 12613030, it did not come with any shims.

What makes this problem better or worse?

No start but crank. Voltage to injector, coils and pump.

How long has your 2007 Suzuki XL-7 had this problem?

A year

I’m not sure you want to tackle this repair or not. You are aware the transfer case has to be removed - right? Maybe take a look at this YouTube video : https://youtu.be/sw7SeQZqmNk Good luck to ya!
