Hall-Effect Generator 200 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be Manolo on  Thu Jan 23 05:20 CST 2003 [RELATED]

The quick answer is "yes"

There are several kinds of pulse generators used to sense engine position and generate the low voltage pulse that gets processed and amplified into a spark. Up until the 1990s, most of these were located within the distributor, and could be broadly categorized as either induction-type or Hall-effect. Of the two basic designs, the Hall-effect generators were the most precise and (from my limited experience) the least troublesome. I am not familar with the designs that Bosch used, but yours may well be a Hall-effect design.

As noted in my other post, however, after reading your original post more carefully, it sounds like your problem is elsewhere.
