Just make sure it is seated squarely, it seems that it can be bolted
in at an angle sometimes. I had a mechanic at local Dodge house tell
me that and sure enough, on mine, it wasn't squred up like it apperad
to be. I don't guess their isn't actually an airgap of sorts but it
seems it can be installed a little askew. Mine was on a different year
model so yours may not be exactly the same. It's just what I ran into.
