The Hall control is the ignition not injector control system. You need(page to check that you have battery voltage at terminal 86 and 87 of the power supply relay, and the fuel pump relay. When you turn the key to on without cranking the engine, the power supply relay energizes the positive side of the injectors.

That's where the injectors get power. The positive side of the injectors are always hot when the key is on. When the engine is running, the injectors are controlled by the negative side of the circuit form terminal 12 of the ECU. If you have power at the relays, check again for power at the positive terminals of the injector plugs. Terminal 87 is the load side of a relay. Terminal 30 is the Positive constant power terminal. 85 is Negative terminal, 86 is key-on power. Wwhen you turn the key-power is switched to 87, and this energizes the fuel injector positive side.

CHeck all your connections again especially those at the relays in the black box. Check to see that the power supply from the coil to the relay box are connected right. Also examine for any hard or cracked wires.

The final test is to connect the ohmeter(digital) to terminals 12 and 14 of the ECU harness(unplugged from ECU). This will check total resistance of all four injectors including wiring to the ECU and power supply relay(key-off for this test). Resistance should be 3-5 OHMS.

Ok, all fellow Vanagon sufferers!

There still is no fuel at my injectors. I did all the resistance tests across the terminals at the ECU connectors, all checks out fine, for the injectors. Sort of: Bentley says 16.5Ohms, I get 18 Ohms. Rewired all my grounds, put new connectors on the injectors, needed it anyway. But there is no voltage at the injectors when I crank the engine. Now I did the Hall unit checks as per Bentley, minimal as they are: Terminal 1 and 7 result in a voltage reading that is below spec (spec = battery voltage or slightly less, checked mine, and it's 12.47 V). I get 10.48 V. The only other test as per Bentley or Haynes is to ground the middle terminal on the connector to Hall unit, then turn ignition on and check voltage between terminal 1 at ECU connector and terminal 15 at ignition coil. Checks out according to spec (1.5 V). My guess is that my Hall sender is toast, is there any other tests for checking that. Do I need a whole new distributor if I wanna replace it??What gives. Again: fuel pressure ok, relays ok, get ignition spark

Muchas Gracias
