wtf? its not giving you a specific sensor?

Hall Effect is the method some proximity or position sensors use. So could be anything? Crank sensor?

Try the wiring at the dizzy first, if the fault remains, try another distributor.

your such a nerd lol

i think its time you got a job as a vauxhall technician lol

[Adam]

Most vauxhall technicians ive ever spoke to know nowt

They just know how to plug a tech2 machine in lol

[matthew172]

so your saying it will be the distributor then?? are u sure

[Lee]

Hes never wrong!

[Adam]

If the ecu has stored that code, and it keeps storing it after re-setting the ecu, then yeah, replace the dizzy/make sure the plug is tight. Might also be the wire(s) to the plug

Hall effect switch is the trigger in the dizzy that the ecu uses to find tdc.
The car will run without it as it will run from the Crank sensor.

If you want another opinion, ask on mig.. Lol
