if its running on 3 cylinders, dont bother with the coil. if it was the coil, it would be running on 0 cylinders. start at the distributor and work your way towards/including the plugs. if it will hold an idle at all, check it at night. you may see sparks jumping to the head through the distributor cap / plug wires / etc.

  Yes I am the same revjohn from befor, had some problems with my email.  Well here is the story;  I bought the 1988 scirocco 16v  and it broke down last nigh.  The lore must be mad at me for some reason.  here is what is going on;  Engine is vibrating real bad while motor is running, it wont idol it will just die, has no power like it is running on 3 instead of 4.   Car made a ticking noise like something was hitting the fan.  It was running fine until about a quarter mile from school.  Then it starting acting up.  any and all possible things to check please help me out.  We already checked the ignition the primary resistance is at 1 ohms it is suppose to be at .6 to .8ohms  the secondary is good.



  Thanks all and god bless,
