Sounds right. Sort of like the crank position sensor. Total show stopper when it happens, but pretty rare. I just swapped mine out after 22 years as I was worrying about it, somewhat obsessively. Frankly, given how crappy some parts seems to be these days, the new one is just as likely to fail as the 22 year old one it replace.
