I can't remember if I replied to this... Using many different computers.

Yeah, the idle stabilizer hums when the ignition is turned on.

I put the relay in per your advice, and I know it works cause there are 
other relays (like the fuel pump relay) which work when the fuel system 
works correctly. The relay I installed remains on when I'm trying to start 
the car.

I guess it comes down to: everything works perfectly until I try starting 
the car... at which point, everything appears to be working fine, except I 
get no spark coming out of the coil, or at the ends of the plug wires.

There is a wire from Terminal #50 of the starter... It's the only thing I 
can think of... what does this wire do? It's currently hooked up the way it 
was in the Jetta... from #50 on the starter, to wherever it originally went 
in the CIS-E harness (don't have the Bentley in front of me).

May I? Could I call you Sunday afternoon? I'd be in a life debt to you for 
this, you know. And maybe a fruit basket, too.
