1995 Volkswagen Jetta 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual ~98000 miles

When I turn the key, it will crank, but I can't get it to turn over. I haven't gotten someone else to try it while I'm looking (or vice versa) but judging by the sound I don't even think I'm getting ignition.

The A/C compressor bearing has been bad for a bit now (it's due into the shop this weekend); and we had a HUGE storm yesterday, including me hitting a deep spot on the way home from work (deep enough that the water splashed up where I could feel it in my sandals).

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor /distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM, Ignitor cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
