I drive a manual transmission 2002 Jetta. The car was running fine until I accidentally stalled it at a red light because I forgot I was still in gear and I let off the clutch. So I put it in neutral, pressed in the clutch, and turned the key. The engine would stutter and shake for as long as I turned the key but it wouldnt start again. What do you think the problem is?

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, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
