OH, OK, found the previous thread. Glad it's fixed, but I was talking about the metal part the rotor (the part I think you called a "button") mounts to, it's the part that attaches to the camshaft. I've seen those break, yet sometimes they'll spin with the cam and sometimes even let the engine run! Weird.

If you replaced the rotor, then I doubt highly it's the rotor bracket. If it's the rotor bracket, when you took the cap off it probably would have fell into your hands. The rotor mounts to the bracket with 3 small machine screws. The part I'm talking about is the part those 3 screws screw in to. If that part was not broken, then that wasn't it. Was a long shot anyways.

Yeah that's sensor with an "S". Hmmm, used by the ignition control unit to control spark, it's not a distributorless system as you know, but can have similar effects. Would be affected by heat, can't remember if the original post you had mentioned heat related problem or not (usually you are better off continuing your original thread). The older sensors have really long life, pretty dependable. If that's what the guys says it is, sure I'd go along with it, I have no reason to doubt that it could be that part, but I didn't diagnose it...
