Note: This procedure applies to Cordia and Tredla 2.0L (1983 to 1988). Galant (all models). Mirage 1.5L (1985 to 1988) and Precis (1987 to 1989).
1. After each violation of the distributor sensor air gap, it is necessary to adjust it.
2. Loosen the sensor mounting screws. Place a flat feeler gauge of the specified thickness between one of the rotor lugs and the sensor (see illustration).
13.2. To adjust the air gap between the sensor and the sensor rotor, loosen the sensor-switch mounting screws, place a flat feeler gauge of the thickness specified in the specification between the sensor and one of the rotor projections, move the sensor toward the feeler gauge, then tighten its mounting screws
3. Gently press the sensor towards the rotor to ensure a tight fit of the feeler gauge, the fit should be tight enough but not too tight.
4. Tighten the sensor mounting screws.
5. Check the adjustment by paying attention to the resistance force when removing the feeler gauge from the gap between the rotor and the sensor. The resistance should be weak. If you feel strong resistance, the gap is too small. If there is no resistance, the gap is too large.
