Alright, that was one thing I had considered. But, how long would the Hall
sensor hold up doing this intermittent thing? Its been doing it for several
months, and maybe a few thousand miles.

I got a good deal on it, so that it was as cheap as the other stuff, much
cheaper than stock. Which is pretty much the only reason I got it over the
competition.

Sounds about like replacement time to me. But I'm probably going to try
some other things first, like resistor plugs, because a distributor isn't a
cheap thing to replace if its not positively the problem.
