Hi --

Do you have a Bentley?  There is a detailed sequence of steps for
checking each of the ignition parts.  There are a lot of possibilities
right now.  Is there power to the Hall sender?  Does the Hall sender
work?  Is the signal from the Hall sender getting to the coil?
Is there a rotor in the distributor?

Figuring out ignition problems is not always trivial, so don't give up
right away!

Good luck...
