Hmmm...I thought since the car will fire when I shoot some starting fluid in, that the ignition is okay. IF that hall sensor is not working properly would you get any spark at all? I can't determine for certain from the manual, but I assume since the Hall sensor replaces the point type ignition, that if it wasn't working then you would get no spark at all.
