Re: from Hall to VR
If your engine is working (other than the faulty sensor) it might be easier to replace it with a sensor rated for automotive crank service.
As to whether you can simply swap in a VR sensor, it rather depends on which 'TachIn' pads on the board are selected. Until recently, the standard wisdom was to use the Opto input for a Hall sensor; more recent experience prefers that the Hall sensor be wired to the VR input. Either way, you'll almost certainly need to calibrate the VR pots on the board.
