I just went thru a hall sensor fiasco with my '87 spg. The darn thing would run all the way to work, then quit 100 yards from the house on the way back. If you have an older car like mine the hall connector gets corroded and could have a bad connection. I even went to the junkard and cut a connector off to splice into mine! Turned out my problem was the hall sensor would work until it got hot. Try moving rotating it where you should see high volts, then shake the hall connector. If it fluctuates, you probably just have corrosion on the contacts. IF it doesn't fix it..it's time for a new distributor. One easier way to rotate it is to loosen the distributor bolt and rotate the housing. That's easier than turning the whole engine. Luckily for me I have a 3rd car in the garage I was able to get the distributor out of. Either a bad connection or bad distributor hall sensor. It's a coil of very small wire!
