' 87 740 GLE, The 'clicks' just keep on comin'

Hello All,

I've got a '87 740 GLE that will not start. Will not turn over.

When the ingntion is turned to the II posistion all I get is a click under the hood.

Pulled into the garage one day after it had been running fine...well relatively fine. The next day...click.

Replaced the starter. Replaced the Hal sensor. Tried to hotwire from starter tab to positive battery terminal. Cleaned battery cables. Still...click.

In the I posistion, the tach nudges up slighty in II posistion the tach does nothing.

Interesting thing happened. When I took off the hal sensor connector, I got the same click. Leads me to believe(in my vast inexperience) that the problem is before the spark i.e. hal sensor.

Tested resistance at primary terminals on the ignition coil. Measured 1.5 ohms.

Can anybody help, or come and give me a ride to the store?
