Ring Any Bells?

Hello Everyone -

I was driving down the road and the engine just died on my '86 5KTQ.  I
rolled into a parking lot and it would not restart.  I checked the fuses and
#24 "engine timing" was blown.  I replaced it and it still wouldn't start
and the fuse didn't blow again.  I towed it home and there it sat for almost
2 weeks.  I would go out and try to start it and wiggle wires, but no luck.
I checked the error codes - nothing.  It was outside, so I couldn't do alot.
I decided to make the effort to move it into the garage and had to roll it
back.  For reasons I won't go into I hit the starter with it in gear to move
it a little - it then started.  I let it run for awhile and checked the
error codes and got only "2113" - Hall sending unit.  I did the whole check
of it in Bentley and everything checks out.

A couple days before this last incident the engine died right after leaving
home.  I pulled over and it started right back up.

Does any of this ring a bell with anyone?  Any recommendations?

Thanks much.
