>From the Bentley manual It starts by having you check for spark. If you don't have spark, then the next test is the Hall sender unit.
Also check rotor/cap/wires Les -------Original Message------- From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: 01/03/03 11:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [a2-16v-list] Non-running 8v GTI > All, My CIS-E 8v GTI has been hesitating a bit on acceleration for the last couple of weeks. Its annoying, but livable on my winter beater toy project beast thing. Last night, at a stop light, I accidentally stalled the car trying to start it from rest in 2nd gear in the snow. It wouldn't restart. It'll crank and crank and crank, but not fire even a little bit. My question is, what's the most likely spark-related component that would die suddenly? Coil? Hall sender? Bad coil -> distributuer wire? Fuel doesn't seem to be the problem, as the tank is full and the fuel pump is still buzzing away and I can smell gas a bit after trying to start it...
