Better watch out, I had this happen to me for months and did nothing 
about it, until one day I was driving down a dark road in a wooded 
area, and all of the sudden Sput sput putter pop chhoooo.....I pushed 
the car down the road (downhill thank god, and called a tow truck 
for a  diner. What really hurts is you need the whole distributor,
(you just mangel it trying to replace the hall unit, ask Rany
Schuermann).
You will most likely need a new one anyway as the one you have probably
has an oil leak, and that is why the hall sender went bad in the first
place. It's gonna set you back about $160 (from Mark at aab, costs $300+ 
from dealer!).
