1997 Audi A4 6 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic 90k miles

engine turns over but won't start on occasion. Come back a couple hrs later and it starts, runs fine. Changed fuel filter and plugs. Runs good but then wouldn't start again a couple days later. Same thing, give it a couple hrs and no problem.

Do below to determine if it's fuel or spark problem.

Cranks but no start condition:

Fuel and Spark:
Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -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, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
