Engine Speed Sensor: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Dodge Pickup and 1995 Dodge Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Install spacers and engine speed sensor with bolts finger tight. DO NOT tighten bolts, as engine speed sensor air gap between tip of engine speed sensor and vibration damper must be adjusted.
    CAUTION: Engine speed sensor must not be aligned with notch areas on vibration damper when adjusting engine speed sensor air gap or engine speed sensor will be damaged when engine is started. See Fig 1.
  2. Engine speed sensor air gap should be .049-.051" (1.25-1.30 mm). Install proper thickness Brass feeler gauge between tip of engine speed sensor and vibration damper.
  3. Gently push engine speed sensor downward against Brass feeler gauge. Tighten engine speed sensor bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Remove feeler gauge and recheck air gap. Reinstall electrical connector.
