i cant figure out whats wrong with my car anybody know?
i have a 86 jetta gti wolfsburg edition 1.8l 5spd i just recently put a
new clutch in and afterwards i went for like a 5 min ride and lost all the spark so i have put in a new ignition countrol module ,ignition coil ,wires, plugs, cap, rotor, and a used distribiter and i still have no spark . the only things left are the hail sender(pick-up coil) and the computer . if you have a test light in the middle wire of the hail sender and touch the other end to the ground you get spark but you would have to keep doing this to get more then 1 spark outta it . i have apsolutly no ideal of whats wrong either does my father a mechanic of 20 years . if you know whats wrong or have had this problem before plz let me know i love this car but i dont wanna keep putting all this money in it when i cant even use it . thank you for your time jimi |

VW used basically the same 1.8l block for a very long time, but what rode on top and in front of that base varied greatly. My guess is that you have discovered the problem already in jimmying the hall (two L's, BTW) sender. Why not replace this, too? Matthew |

Hi mate just the simplest of ideas all jetta mk1 ahd golf mk1 have a
little earth strap somtimes attached to the gearbox at the back or attached to the rock top. if this has brokern or not replaced the spark can go also the mfa system starts showing funny things just replace a earth and hope for the best Hope this helps Dan jettaboy wrote: > i have a 86 jetta gti wolfsburg edition 1.8l 5spd i just recently put a > new clutch in and afterwards i went for like a 5 min ride and lost all > the spark so i have put in a new ignition countrol module ,ignition > coil ,wires, plugs, cap, rotor, and a used distribiter and i still > have no spark . the only things left are the hail sender(pick-up coil) > and the computer . if you have a test light in the middle wire of the > hail sender and touch the other end to the ground you get spark but you > would have to keep doing this to get more then 1 spark outta it . i > have apsolutly no ideal of whats wrong either does my father a mechanic > of 20 years . if you know whats wrong or have had this problem before > plz let me know i love this car but i dont wanna keep putting all this > money in it when i cant even use it . thank you for your time jimi |
