WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2002 Mazda Tribute, 2002 Mazda Protege5, 2002 Mazda Protege, 2002 Mazda Millenia, and 2002 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
MPV air gap inspection and specification not available from manufacturer.
Using a feeler gauge, measure air gap between crankshaft pulley and Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor. See Fig 1 -Fig 5 . If air gap is not .020-.060" (.5-1.5 mm), replace crankshaft pulley or CKP sensor. On Miata, CKP sensor is adjustable. If sensor will not adjust, replace CKP sensor or plate behind crankshaft pulley.
