What air gap did you set? Factory calls for .049/.051 but many of us just use a folded business card for a gauge.

Check a wiring diagram to see what else that tan/yellow wire feeds. Another sensor could be shorted out and driving that circuit to ground.

Thinking about splicing in on the ground wire from sensor grey with black tracer if I remember right. And see if I get anything that way. Thoughts on that?
