Stupid quick question, and a slightly harder one about 5000tq...

[John Forbes]

I checked today about the draw. You guys were right on, it was the alternator. Left batery connected for a few hours then felt the alternator and it was nice and warm. I've got one on my spare motor so that should be no problem.

I'm still on no start today, and its really getting troublesome. Multimeter reads ok ohm resistance between ECU and hall sensor, and LED test light shows the proper flickering on both hal side and ECU side, but the car still says its not reciveing hall signal. I'm thinking about running my own wiring to replace the old ones as they have hardened up pretty bad and are very fragile. I don't have volume 2 of the Bentley which covers wireing diagrams, so can anybody tell me if theres anything that splits off from the 3 hall sendor wires between it and the ECU that I need to know about?
