The hall effect sensor is only used to start the engine - it starts off the
spark timing when the first cylinder piston hits top - it does not prevent it
running once it is going. So, it could be why it won't start, but it can't
have anything to do with why it died. Are you sure the fuel pump is working?

One more possibility, tho not too likely, is that you have a problem in the 
ECU.  I experienced the same problem about a year ago, with a "cam position 
sensor" fault pulled.  Turned out that one of the chips in my recent MTM upgrade 
was bad.  The fault code was a red herring.Took some detective work to figure 
it out.  Just thought I would toss it out.

I pulled the gas line at the fuel filter and turned the engine over - got gas 
out, not a lot but a steady stream.  Went for a spark but got none, however, 
I am not sure I had a good connection.  Next step is is to pull the computer 
and check per the manual  - unless some one has a better idea?
