My 01 cabrio (A3) stalled the other day and will not restart. It will turn over. Fuel pump is making noise, disconnected line at rail and fuel spurtsd out for a second or 2 when key is turn to on. I took out center wire from distributor and placed it near a ground. It will spark repeatedly for a second and then no spark for a second or 2 then some more sparking. I assume this should consistantly spark while the engine is turning over. Before this all happened I pressure washed the engine compartment around the distributor and area looking for a small coolant leak. I removed dist. cap and it is dry and I sprayed WD-40 everywhere and still no luck. Thanks for any help.
