NOTE: Ignition checks are divided according to fuel system.
SPARK TEST
1) Using an ohmmeter, check resistance of each spark plug
wire. See HIGH TENSION WIRE RESISTANCE table. Check for a strong Blue
spark at coil wire and at each spark plug wire by holding wire
terminal 5/16" from ground while cranking engine.
2) Disconnect and inspect all related ignition system
connectors and harness. Clean or repair if necessary. If related
connectors and harness are okay, remove negative battery cable.
Disconnect secondary and primary leads from ignition coil.
3) Using ohmmeter, check primary resistance between primary
terminals of coil. Check secondary resistance between coil secondary
terminal and primary positive terminal. Replace coil if readings are
not within specifications. See IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE table.

INTERMITTENTS
INTERMITTENT PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS
Intermittent fault testing requires duplicating circuit or
component failure to identify the problem. These procedures may lead
to the computer setting a fault code (on some systems) which may help
in diagnosis.
If problem vehicle does not produce fault codes, monitor
voltage or resistance values using a DVOM while attempting to
reproduce conditions causing intermittent fault. A status change on
DVOM indicates a fault has been located.
Use a DVOM to pinpoint faults. When monitoring voltage,
ensure ignition switch is in ON position or engine is running. Ensure
ignition switch is in OFF position or negative battery cable is
disconnected when monitoring circuit resistance. Status changes on
DVOM during test procedures indicate area of fault.
TEST PROCEDURES
Intermittent Simulation
To reproduce the conditions creating an intermittent fault,
use the following methods:
* Lightly vibrate component.
* Heat component.
* Wiggle or bend wiring harness.
* Spray component with water.
* Remove/apply vacuum source.
Monitor circuit/component voltage or resistance while
simulating intermittent. If engine is running, monitor for self-
diagnostic codes. Use the test results to identify a faulty component
or circuit. For system or component testing refer to the appropriate
I - SYS/COMP TESTS article in this section. See the menu below:
* For Cabriolet, see: I - SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS
* For Corrado SLC, see: I - SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS
* For EuroVan, see: I - SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS
* For Fox, see: I - SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS
* For Golf, GTI, Jetta, see: I - SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS
