    Hello everyone! Everything was jim-danny until a couple weeks ago. My golf ran prefect for ever but one afternoon i went to go start it and it just wouldnt fire!!! not for the life of it!! Well, needless to say new spark plugs, spark plug wires, and starter later still nothing. You can smell it getting gas and it tested that the distributor was getting eletricity but anything after the coil wasnt. So i replaced the coil and 10 minutes later, it died again and i am stuck in the same situation. I never bolted the coil to the firewall, does it need to be grounded to the firewall? Maybe just the other coil sucked? i also replaced a sensor in the distributor and that still did nothing too. So what does everyone think? I tried replacing the coil today, i made sure i grounded it and...nothing...i checked to see if i was getting spark with a plug tool that i borrowed from my friend and i still wasnt getting spark from my distributor to the plugs....nothing as well. so i am not getting spark at all i guess. i was told i wasnt getting spark to my coil either, i wouldnt doubt it. so is there a fuse or a relay that would be faulty? is there a sensor that i may need to replaced that controls the spark at all? do i need a distributor? Please let me know if you have any information at all, please help me out. Thanks so much you guys!!!
