Subject:Hall Sender Question
From:David Wilhite
Date:Thu, 21 Mar 2002 21:04:41 -0500

I recently posted about a syncro I've got for sale.  Everything has seemed
to check out fine on it.  I have had some bucking/missing/non-start with it
occasionally.  When it did it today, I checked out the Hall Sender (thanks
to the archives) and guess what.  It is held in place with silicone and a
nylon wire tire.  Evidently, it's been broken and rigged in the past.  I
was able to wiggle it and make the van able to start and run or die.  I
tightened up the wire tire and went on my merry way.  So hopefully, this
has been the source of my problem.

So now I have a couple of questions to ask the collective here.

#1-I have looked through my Bentley, and replacing the Hall Sender seems
pretty straightforward.  However, I think it best to ask if there is a good
method for removal and replacement before I start on it.  I'm not real
crazy about pulling the distributor out to do this.

#2-I still have the 1.9 engine from my 84'.  I hadn't had the chance to
check it out, but does anybody know if it is the same type as the 2.1, or
am I better off just buying a new one.  Keep in mind that although I do
have this for sale, I want it to be reliable before I get it sold to
someone else.

Thanks in advance.
