BB Automacao Hall Senders: Longevity?

[UrS4boy]

These are the BBHME301 ones from the AAN, ABY and ADU (and 3B if you want) replacement group buy(s) of the last few years. Just wanted to follow-up on how long they are lasting (compared to the OE sender):

None local to me but I have heard of one at 80K miles and one at 15K miles. Anything shorter, I would question the splicing/ pins etc in the conversion.

I would suspect a POS channel, sparkplug, sparkplug boot or coil problem before I would suspect a new BB Automacao G40 Hall effects sender. Pull the injector electrical connectors, one by one and figure out which cylinder has the miss. Then swap the POS connectors (in pairs) to the other POS. Repeat pulling the injector connectors (one by one). If the miss moves, it is a POS channel. If it stays on the same cylinder then it is that cylinder's plug, boot or coil.

Let us know.

Changed both POS with another pair, same result. all other electrical components like spark plugs changed with another good set ,boots and coils are new.Don t know what else to check ....
