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

I mean do you have spark from coil going into distributor cap? You say no spark, do you mean from plug wires?

So you have spark going into cap but no spark out of cap to plugs? Then maybe cap or rotor is bad.
