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.
