[V8] Hall sender / theories?

[Maurice Greven]

After I did my steering rack, my V8 ran very badly. I had noticed a
little corrosion in some of the plug wires when I had them off for the
rack, so I replaced the plug wires and the car ran GREAT!... I didn't
check codes when it was runnung so poorly (huge miss... It was really
stumbling.. I could get it to rev up, but it had no power)... I don't
know if the plugs not firing would fool it into a hall sender error...

Just a thought,
Maurice
