so when i try to start it, there should be a spark from distrubutor?
what if there is?

[Adam]

Take it out of the top of the distributor and do as VW BUSH says,

If there is its not a coil pack.

Mk3's didn't have separate coil pack, there is a coil and a dizzy.
First unplug no.1 ht lead, check for a spark.
If there isn't then unplug the centre lead in the dizzy, check for a spark.

Sorry I ment coil.

Common on Mk3 for Coil to go like this, first thing to check if your car dies
With power and Petrol ok

[tobybrennan]

well the main lead out of the distributor has a spark and so does no.1 ht lead:)

[VW BUSH]

You have spark so now, check fuel system

[Mikester]

I reckon fuel or ecu relay. Or maybe crank sensor? Failing that maybe the dizzy itself?

It won't be the dizzy as there is a spark.
Check for the fuel pump priming next, or crank it over for about 5-10 seconds, remove a spark plug and smell the cylinder for fuel.
