These are factory adjusted and then sealed. You have to melt out the seal to readjust them, but this almost always means that you just lose the factory adjustment and are forever after lost. > will let everyone know what happens, may be more than just this part, but > i have isolated the prob to the sensor. funny tho, ohms readings are ok, > wonder if the rod inside is goofy? well, it IS 27+ yrs old. These are almost never bad. If the Ohms are correct and there is infinite resistance between each winding and ground and between the two windings, then they are electrically okay. Put a hose on the vacuum connection and suck (yes, it will taste like gasoline) if it holds vacuum reasonably well then that part is okay. There is a sealed bellows inside which could leak and make it non functional. I have seen 1 bad one in 30 years, but it went slowly bad so was hard to figure out. The rod mechanism is a beautiful design. I have never seen one go bad and I don't expect to. What have you done that managed to isolate the problem to the PS?
