I'm trying to help a friend with his Cabriolet...there's no spark at the spark plugs. I've run some standard voltage tests (from the Bentley manual) on the coil, pickup, ignition module, and so far everything seems ok. Can someone give me some ideas for proceeding at this point. The only substitute part I have is an electronic ignition coil from my 1983 Vanagon. I know a regular 12v coil would be interchangeable in a non electronic system, but not sure about the electronic ignition coil and if it's interechangeable...and I want to be sure before I risk it.
I'd appreciate some help, I'm a bit fuzzy about this ignition system.
