i have a 97 jetta 2.0/5 speed with 12v to the coil output wire but no spark. bought a used distributor and still no spark with either distributor cap. some people in forums say either the crank position sensor (engine speed sensor) or the ECU/ECM. just bought the crank sensor but i do not want to take it out of the package unless it is the problem. my local pick-n-pull has an ECU for $27 and the crank sensor for $6 but i hear they are problematic and i dont want to throw more money out the window. thus i would like to know if there is a way to test the ECU or crank sensor. i have a multimeter and a test light. please reply with any help.
