Both Digijet and Digifant are implementations of Bosch's L-Jetronic
system.  For more information on them, I found "Bosch Fuel Injection
Systems" (ISBN 1-55788-365-3, published by HPBooks) very helpful.

You wouldn't get a pulse if you unplugged the hall sender because the
ECU doesn't think that the engine's running.  You will with the AFM
unplugged because the ECU knows that it's running, but the amount of
the pulse will be GROSSLY inadequate for what the engine needs.  By
far, the AFM is the more important input for making the engine run
reliably and stably -- but you won't get anything without the hall
input.
