I remember a van that had a problem with dying. I was troubleshooting and when I turned the key on the pump didnt do its 2 second run. I took another distributor that I had and just plugged it in electrically to the hall sensor and then turned on the key. It did the pre run every time I would turn the distributor shaft a little with my fingers. Installed distributor and that fixed it. I am 100% positive that this problem is the distributor (hall sensor) or a fault in its wiring.
