I have no ideas on your no start. I'd check to see if the PCM is
energizing the ASD. that ought to tell you if it's a CPS/CKS or a coil?

I just thought I'd tell a short story related to your original problem:

I traded my Jetta for a 97 CTD on Monday. trade has been in the works
for about 3 weeks and he's had my Jetta for the last 2. Fellow
wheeler down in PA. Would have done the trade 2 weeks ago but a
couple days before it had oil in the coolant: blown head gasket.
ended up with a new head due to 4 cracks in valve seats. I helped him
button up the new head this past Sunday into Monday morning. I
wheeled Monday and towed home with it. Drags like a dream.

tonight on my way to dinner out, it popped the front crossover line at
the left front soft line tee. I still had the Dakota behind me since
I'm lazy (and don't drive to work....) and was going to scale out
after dinner. grabbing all trailer brakes still left me about 2-3"
too far forward and I tapped an '07 CR-V. Only damage was the gate.
FML moment: in the ~28 hours I've had possession I've not visited the
DMV nor called my insurer. Still on the PO's plates. Hope this goes
smoothly. grrrrr
