i have a 1996 2.0 aba 8v

the vag com codes
0075 warning lamp
16795 secondary injection pump
16684 random cyl misfire
16685 cyl 1 misfire detected
16687 cyl 3 misfire detected

the car was running fine went into the store came out and no start issue.

i have checked the coil and it will crank and deliver 1 spark and nothing else

the injectors and fuel pump check out ok

i have also used a spare coil and a spare distributor to help diagnose the spark issue with the same 1 spark then nothing else

where else should i look ?

Try the search function next time, but look at your crank position sensor.

i don't have money to throw parts at the car ..

would vag-com throw a code for the crank sensor if that was the issue ?

i searched and did not see any post showing my symptoms

i see 1 spark from the straight off the coil but no signal to the spark plug

when a crank position sensor is bad would it die over a long time or die immediately ?
