Subject:Runaway Starter Saga Continues
From:JRodgers

I'm still in pursuit of getting my van running again after the runaway
starter incident. Here is where I am with it now.

New starter (engine turns - won't start - not even sputter)
New ignition switch
Fuel pump runs (pressurizes the system ok)

No start.

I tried a couple of shots of starter ether into the intake and it won't
fire on that either - indicating an ignition problem for sure.

It looks like meter time.

Any suggestions on where to start testing to track this down?

BTW - I don't fully understand how hall sensor works. I believe it is
suspect some how in all this.

Thanks,

John
