I just purchased a used bug (gl 2.0) and drove it home. I started it the other day and it ran for 5 seconds and died? It will crank but wont start? I have check power, and don't know where to go next? any ideas?

You need to check for spark and fuel, If you don't have any it's probably the crank sensor.

Due to the high volume of no responses to posted questions, if you have not resolved your issue and you need further assistance, please respond.
