Hi all my Jetta won't even try to start. It cranks but no spark.
The coil is new and the dist. is also new. I also checked to see if I'm getting power at both and yes.
I hooked my scanner up and it's saying there's no signal from the crank position senser.
Would a faulty crank senser cause there to be no spark?
Weird thing is there is no check engine light on-unless it burned out. Thanks in advance guys!! I'm a true VW Lover!! I have had 13 different V-Dubs over the years!

yes, no signal from the crank sensor would cause no spark, I would start with the crank position sensor

Hi everyone! Wanted to give an update to what happened with my 98 Jetta GT.
After it died on me in the middle of the street at a traffic light I diagnosed the no-start to be no signal from the crank sensor.
When I received the new crank sensor and went to install it that's when I found the real problem.
The connector crumbled to pieces when I tried to pull it apart.
So I have it rigged until I get a replacement connector to splice onto the car's wiring harness.
I'm also waiting on a new Starter. It's been sounding weak!

Take care everyone and as always thx for your help!!
Aaron

a bad connection will do it as well, sounds like the connector fix will be a much cheaper solution
