Hi Mike,
You got me there on the Hall effect sensor, as I have never had to mess with one of those!
I would think it only mounts into the center one way?
The reluctor has to be keyed on the shaft. That might be loose? Look down in there closely for a tiny roll pin!
Don’t know about the pickup coil though. Don’t have a clue how it’s held in there.
Maybe someone else has more information on that.
That milled in, flat notch, is important in relation to the number one plug tower as I remember.
Apparently, when resetting the distributor back in the hole it may be important too?
Something, somewhere was on the wrong tooth!
Don’t remember if the cap uses that particular notch, to sit into, to lock itself either.
Too much time goes on between any tuning up I get to do.
I spread all my driven mileage across several vehicles. I’m just crazy enough to keep the insurance companies straight on how much I do drive each on.
It seems that one or three things were off or something. The timing belt jumped a tooth or two and or this happened before and a PO or mechanic got something wrong the last time.
It helped sell the car to you though as the owner had worries, I’ll bet!
Now you are throwing in the Hall effect sensor movement to add some scrabble tiles to the mix, wow! Trying to make a diagnosis from all this is surely guessing!
At least we know, if the timing get right with it world down there, the car runs ... Thank goodness!
Phil
