Default TDC sensor question (saph 2wd)

Can a missfire caused by a faulty/old TDC sensor.

A while ago i had some simaler problem and it turned out te be the phase sensor in the distributer.
Now i got a same sort of problem.

And the gap for the TDC sensor is that +- 1mm??

Cheers for the answers,
Ruud

Hi,
A TDC sensor can cause a missfire yes.

The gap is 0.6 - 1.0mm I personally use 0.8mm.
