Subject:      Vanagon dead at walmart--not the coil after all
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


I just got back from walmart parking lot (oh, joy) where I took the
loaner coil my local shop let me use for troubleshooting. Before I
removed the suspect coil, I turned on the key and stuck a test light
on the positive coil terminal connector to make sure it was getting
power from the ignition switch. It wasn't the switch. So, I swapped
out the coil (checking connections) and it wasn't the coil.


So, I guess all that's left is the hall effect sensor. I removed the
distributor and will take it down to have the sensor tested tomorrow morning.


If it is the sensor, anybody have a used one or a used distributor? I
just check around and they seem mighty expensive.
