Electrical problem
1987 Audi 5000 All Wheel Drive Manual
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have intermittent spark. Does the coil gradually fail or is there a sensor or a modulator that can go bad?

Hi brett,

It should be the crank sensor. Coil seldom give intermitent sparks.
