1997 Audi A4 4 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic

My audi a4 will not start. It cranks but will not start. I even charged my battery on a charger and tried to jump it and still won't start. All my dashboard lights come on my gages work. After i kept trying to start it my battery died after about 2-3 minutes. Is it my battery?

Get the battery load tested if okay and the engine cranking over and refuses to start do below

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
