Sandy: Unless there was an issue with the harness you used with your 1.8t coil pack conversion (e.g.
 broken ground wire inside the harness), I was confident that the problem was not the coil packs.
 (One might fail but not all 5).

Otherwise, your symptoms did sound like what Bob Myers went through last year.  I helped Bob
 diagnose that and pointed him to the G4 crank position sensor.  (Which should throw a 2112 blink
 code).  He had the code (2112) but it was false, i.e. because the engine wouldn't start.  Eventually
 Bob cured his problem by changing his cam position sensor - which should have thrown a 2113 
blink code - but it never did (hence the confusion and looking elsewhere).

For future reference the blink codes are listed on Scott Mockry's website at:
