No Spark... Desperate need for an answer

[Holo86Dub]

Replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil, module, hall sensor (entirely new distributor), battery

No spark at all, just died on me while I was driving Northbound on I-5.

Not sure what else I need to replace or check.

I've gone through the grounds, sanded down all the grounds, replaced them even.

What might have happened to my poor 86 Golf.

The cars details:

1986 VW Golf 2 Dr 1.8 8V CiS
5 Spd ACH Manual Transmission

doesnt something with the seatbelt disable ignition? I wouldnt know 100% because the PO bypassed that anyways and I have harness's. Might want to look into that.

'86 did not come with seat-belt disable ignition.

Try an ignition switch if you haven't already. Terminal 15 runs through it, it's important! Do you have 12v and ground through the coil and distributor while cranking and in run position? Is the ignition control module switching the coil at this point? Maybe that's the module you speak of? It's in the left side of the rain cowl and is a common failure. Try plugging in another one. Do your basic wiring checks before all else.

Is it a knock sensor, high compression engine with the knock control unit?

[Holo86Dub]

The ignition control module is the module I was talking about. Spent most of the day trying to get it, my dad came over and helped me check all the wiring twice over, the volts running through everything. As it sits right now, it should start and run as it did a few weeks ago. Just quit working x.x I thought it was the heater core due to liquid build up on the carpet within the carpet of the passenger side, so I spent $4 and go what I needed to bypass the heater core. Still nothing.

Got a similar problem, so bump it up. Mine is a high compression engine.

I'm not sure about mk2 engines but mk3 has a Crank position sensor which will prevent spark if it is bad.

Same thing happened to me while at a stop, it was dead battery for me and then when I put the new one in I went straight to autozone so they could test the new battery and alternator, my alternator tested bad, I havent had it to long either, so replaced alternator and everythings good now. So your car cranks, but doesent start, or is it not cranking at all.

I also died on the freeway, pretty scary, but during heavy traffic. It was a loose negative connection to the battery for that time, I'm sure your connections are good at the battery.
