Retarded running

In prep for the GTS timing belt/gears/wp project I began taking some peripheral components off and when I moved the front wiring harness discovered a disconnected 3 prong connector. Tracing back it is the connector for the hall sensor.
IIRC the hall sensor retards ignition timing but dont recall by how much or any long term issues that may have occurred by running disconnected?
Another add to the winter projects

any comment re the long term running with the hall disconnected?
Given where I found the connector end its been this way for a long while.

Just plug it back in and go for a drive. Cold weather and a properly running GTS = lots of fun.

(Oh yeah, and we were in the Audi all-road with snows).
Malcom, the EZK resets its 6-deg retard whenever the key is off. So just replace the hall sensor (and a new harness connector if needed) and start the car...
And check it with that Sharktuner that you are allegedly partners in, if you can get your hands on it!

thx Jim........if only I could get out the driveway ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The harness connector looks good just got some residual broken conector from the hall sender. I'll replace the sender, spark it up in the spring and enjoy the new found +ve timing.
I saw the ST once but I need another set of PEMs for the GTS then perhaps it'll reappear?

Sorry Jim, you're the *****, snow tires and all wheel drive really? You could get away with calling me something if you were on a motorcycle...... ![Stick Out Tongue](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
