1997 Volkswagen Golf 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

i have a 1997 Gl body with a 2l GTI engine. It worked well until one day, it shouts down. It turns over but will not start. Cam sensor was changed, so is the engine speed sensor. The coil is good and so is the ecu but the coil is"nt igniting to fire up the distributor. OBD shows that all the sensors work. A few mechanics have looked at it, no one seem to know the problem. What's wrong?

The coil is good -is it getting power from the igntion switch-you have replace the camshaft sensor and the ECU is good and there's no CPS sensor in this model according to my software-it boils down to the distributor or the computer-
