Default cossie sensor kit?

got a full engine bay sensor kit to hopefully cure my problems, are these easy enough to fit? especially phase sensor (does dizzy have to be removed completely?) and crank sensor?

only the dizzy cap needs to come off. You need to make sure you gap the phase sensor correctly and the crank sensor. Not sure of the gap you need. someone on here will know or a quick phone call to a tuner.

Quite an easy job though

I think the gap is about 0.25mm (but i could be wrong) make sure the wire to the phase sensor is plugged in the right way round cause if not the car wont start.

Phase sensor gap is 0.2mm to 0.3mm.
The wire is correctly on when the top wire from the sensor goes to the nearest pin on the through connector in the dizzy body, you MAY have to gently bend the base of the phase sensor so that is is PERFECTLY parralell to the LOBE.
The cranks sensor is easy and gap is 0.6mm to 1.0mm, though they wil still work way outside this range.
CAUTION when setting crank sensor gap, check on ALL lugs, as if you set on a low lug(may be chipped/worn) then when a high lug(unworn) comes round it could clout it!!
