By the way... I forgot to mention that when I was pulling plug wires off of the coil pack the other day that I managed to hit one of the hoses coming off of the overflow, it blew off spewing hot radiator fluid all over my hand and the rest all over the deck. I couldn't get the hose end back on, and while trying to I broke the little spicket off of the Y pipe on the radiator hose. I am having some great luck with this car lately...

!!UPDATE!! So, I decide to start trouble shooting today, and I start with the power connection to the coil pack. Using my multimeter I see it has power, so I plug it into the coil pack, and check every plug one by one going downt the line off of the coil while turning the car over. 1-5 have no power, but when I come to #6 the meter all of a sudden shows a reading. *-) So I decide to go back and check the other plugs, and wouldn’t you know it they all have power (sounds kind of like when I pulled the plug wire off of the coil pack and immediately plugged it back in the first time it died.

Well, its definitely not just one of the leads, because it wont fire at all. I have been trying to Google the problem, and the closest thing that I can find is sometimes people will be driving, get out to do what ever, and when they try to start it up again it wont start (these same people have checked everything from the coil pack, to the ecu, the crank sensor, and the cam sensor, and nothing works). This kind of sounds like my problem accept that my car died while I was driving. Nothing preceded it, it just turned off, and then wouldn’t start again. I NEED HELP!!!

So I leave work today, I’m driving down the road, and all of a sudden my car dies... It didn’t make any sounds, it just died. I tried to turn it over, but it wouldn’t fire. I pulled one of the plug wires to see if it had spark, and it didn’t seem like it. So I pulled it off of the ?coil pack? and plugged it back in. I turned it over while trying to ark it off of the intake manifold, and it started right up. I turned it off, plugged the wire back up, and fired it up again. It sounded fine. So, I decided to try and drive it home. I started driving over the bridge, and it died right befor

Im going to tune up the MAN JETTA for the first time this week. Do I need to look out for anything special on a '98 glx?
