[urq] 12 volts on both terminals of coil - no start

[Tony Hoffman]

Boomer, 
 
One side should have 12v, the other 12v when it doesn't get the switching signal from teh computer. Not really familiar with the urq's. Does it use the reference sensors like the later 5000? If not, it should be relatively simple, probably with a seperate ignition control module similar to the 4k's. Someone out there let me know if this is incorrect. 
 
If it is the simple system, the hall sensor is the first thing I'd check. Should be 4.5V on the center wire when plugged in, and "in window"-ignition on. That means the opening is lined up with the cutout of the distributor. Should be 0V when out of window. (I might have these reversed, It's been a while, but I think this is right)

hey guys, Drove the quattro on a 2 hour drive today, came home packed up some stuff to be shipped and no start. I have no spark at the plugs or from the coil. Check for 12 volts and both terminals on the coil have 12 volts. I thought only one side should have 12 volts? Dead coil bridging across on the inside? I'll look at it with less haste when the sun comes back up, thanks for the help. boomer
