Sensor Plate Rest Position


Sensor Plate Rest Position:





1. Check the sensor plate rest position.

^ Top surface of sensor plate should be 0.075" - 0.118" (1.9mm - 3.0mm) below the bottom edge of the air cone (see illustration).

If not, adjust by bending the wire clip holding the rest spring.

Fuel Pump Relay Socket Terminal ID:





2. Remove fuel pump relay and operate fuel pump for 10 seconds by bridging between receptacle terminals 48 and 52 with a jumper wire.

3. Using a magnet or pair of pliers, slowly raise sensor plate through its full range of motion.

^ A smooth even resistance should be felt.

4. Quickly return sensor plate to its rest position.

^ Sensor plate should fall to its rest position by its own weight without resistance. If any sticking or binding is felt, replace air flow sensor.
