I'm not sure what do you mean Bpaz, I didnīt remove the potentiometer. The potentiometer is a small black box at one side of the fuel distributor which 'tells' the ECU the position of the sensor plate. I worked on the plate itself.

I can tell you, for reference, that I used a feeler gauge, as the one showed in the picture, to CENTER the plate in the throat. I lossen a bit the central screw of the plate and slid the 0.05 mm blade of the feeler between the plate and the throat. When the perimetral gap was even I tightened the screw.

Easy. However if you donīt have any significant idle or starting problem, I suggest to leave the plate alone. Its movement is linked to a small piston inside the chambers of the fuel distributor which, along with the ECU via the EHA, determines the delivery of fuel, so the injection system is very, very sensitive to its position.
