Rob,
Check your fuses. Extra load from compressor coil may have blown something and now you are getting no fuel or spark.

Subject: shouldn't have turned on the A/C!!!
I was driving my '84 8v rocco today, and since it was kind of warm out I thought I should turn on the A/C because I heard that it's bad to not use it for a long period of time, and I was hot. After I turned it on, it started pumping in cold air and my engine struggled a bit, but it always had done that(replacement engine being built). Anyway, all was fine for about 5 seconds and then, although I can't remember exactly how, the engine died(I was in the middle of a very busy street, alone, but that's another story). What happened? It won't start now, and the starter sounds better than it used to, as if it's not being strained as much(if that has anything to do with anything). The timing belt was replaced less than 200 miles ago, and I had a friend look through the oil filler hole and he verified the cam does move when I turn it over. Please help, this is my only car!
thanks,
Rob
