It's a 84 VWabbit with a 83 GTI motor. Does that help? I'm
gonna check the coil later on as well as the ignition module. I'll keep y'all
posted.

You didn't say what year. My 90 Golf had a similar problem. It
turned out to be the computer. Was this the first time this happened? For me
it happened several times and I changed the fuel pump relay. Then total dead.

Someone should be able to help me with this
one!!! Before I take it to the mechanics, I wanna
try to solve this predicament on my own. Motor:
1.8l 8V JH. Problem: The car will crank/turn over
but it won't catch. The battery, alt. and starter are new. The fuel pump and
filter were replaced about a year ago. The spark plugs, wires, distributor
and rotor are brand new (maybe 1000kms on them). there's gas in the gas tank
and oil in the motor. Now what do I check? I can smell fuel after I
start the car and it won't catch when it's cold or warm. The fuel pump
is one when I turn the ignition and that's about all I can describe about
what's happening. Any suggestions or ideas? Ignition module? coil? O2 sensor
box? ANything? TIA Sal
