Hi I have a 1995 VW Passat GLS FWD 2.0 last thursday morning I went out and started my car went back in side to let it warm up when I went back out it was not running thout the timming belt broke or fuel pump went out they are fine I have power at the coil but no power at the distributor no spark wondering if I need a new distributor? or if some sensors are not working.

Thanks 2 Carpros, Sean
