[V8] sanity check, what, from a V8Q owner?

[urq]

For an engine with a distributor and an even number of cylinders it doesn't
matter whether you're at TDC compression or exhaust, the time to fire the
coil(s) is the same.  My V8 ran for a long time with a no Hall Sender signal
code.  Odd number of cylinders, or coil per plug then the ECU needs to know
whether it is exhaust or compression.  An I-5 will not start if the Hall
Sender is bad ... the PT in a V8Q will ...
