I cannot get my car to start after putting in my new motor. I have literally tried every tooth on the distributor at TDC and, 10, 20 and 30 degrees off and the car will not start (I am getting fuel and spark). The only thing I can really narrow it down to is the hall sensor on the late model distributor (the whole ignition/lh 2.2 system is from a 88 740 using a late block mounted dizzy). The reason I suspect it is because when I pulled the motor I sort of torqued the connection a bit and the wires got pulled out somewhat. What is the proper way to test the hall sensor?
Also, if it ends up being bad is there a certain brand you recommend or stay away from? The difference between the bosch and aftermarket ones is quite significant.
