1986 900S 16V Non-Turbo.
Car has always started and run fine, drove a short distance to lunch, parked in hot sun. Came out and the car would not start. Cranked strong, but would not fire.
Checked all fuses (twice now) confirmed that there is fuel on the plugs, confirmed that there is spark to the plugs.
Replace Ignition Control, no help.
Tested Hall Transmitter, found that pins 3 and 6 test at about .1 volts when distibutor is in a position that blocks the Hall sensor, and when I turn the engine to the point where the sensor is not blocked, the volts go up to 4, but only for a split second, then they go back down to .1, even though the sensor is not blocked. I checked this several times with the same results, the moment I lined up the gap with the sensor, the voltage would spike to 4 for a split second and then go back down to .1. Does this indicate a bad Hall Transmitter or is this what it is supposed to do?
If not the Hall, what else could it be?
Thanks for your help,
Steve R
