[urq] Hall Sender? (urq)

[urq]

... OK, you're looking at the pin on the ECU ... you should be seeing a
flicker there!  If you don't see anything there's nothing to be gained by
rotating the dizzy.  

If you have a spare distributor you may want to try it out.  Are you sure
your spare is for a WX?  I know the flywheel reference pin is in a different
location on the WX as compared to the MC, make sure your spare dizzy has
only one window in the cap that passes through the Hall Sender.  It might be
a good idea just to look inside the dizzy that's installed before removing
it.  Remove the dust cap over the Hall Sender area and see if the wires from
the Hall Sender connector to the Hall Sender proper are intact.

The pins I checked (according to the Introductory Service Training  
Info Maintenance and Adjustments manual) are as follows:

Checking signal from Hall Sender
_Pull back boot on (F/TCU) multiplug
_Reconnect multiplug to control unit
_Connect LED tester positive lead to F/TCU terminal 22
_Connect negative lead to F/TCU terminal 4
_Crank engine

LED should flicker if Hall Sendor is OK. (If LED does not flicker  
check Hall Sender voltage supply)

The LED stays on constant during engine cranking.
And, I checked the voltage supply to Hall Sender and it checked out.

So, you suggest trying to rotate the distributor while cranking the  
engine?
I'll give that a try.
I have a newer distributor from my spare engine but its Hall sender  
power female plug has a different boot. Also, the body of the  
distributor is not as deep as my original one. I know it will fit.
