RE: hall sensor help

["Dupree, Jim" <dupree@alldata.com>]

The Hall sensor should be available through aftermarket suppliers, I have
replaced a lot of them over the years. I don't recall anything about an 87
5ktq that would make it different. I understand that often dealers don't
sell component if they can sell assembles, More money $$.

		Folks,
		As some of you know I had attempted to change out the cap
and rotor on my new 87
		5KTQW the other day.  I had it apart, but wanted to find out
if the rotor is
		expoxied on (ALA the 16v VW's) or just tight.  Anyway, after
putting everything
		back together the car ran fine for a few days.  Not this
morning though.  No
		start....fault codes points to hall sensor.  The dealer
explains that the hall
		sensor is not sold seperate from the distributor....$419.
Any thoughts?  Help?
		TIA
