No spark



Hi everyone, I have a question regarding a problem with my  89 Audi-90Q.  First,
thanks to all of you who responded to my problem regarding " engine missing
under load".  Unfortunately, the situation has gone from bad to worse.  In fact, the
engine died on me on my way to getting parts.  Anyway, after I had it towed home, I
check to see if it had any spark.   To my surprise it did not .  So I check to see if
there was any spark getting to the distributor from the coil; there was none.  I
assumed the coil was bad, but a friend of mine said that that  may not be the case. 
He said it could be the "Hall sender"  in the distributor.  So my question is this:

 1.   How do I check the  Hall Sender?  Can the distributor be checked outside the 
       car on the bench at a dealer??
 2.   If it is the Hall Sender, can I replace just the Hall sender or do I have to get a  
       new distributor?
 3.   If I do have to buy a new distributor, where is a good place to buy one??
 4.   Also, is there such a thing as a "Ignition Relay" on these cars??

 BTW, is there anyone out there that has a Bentley manual for this model that
would like to get sell?? 
 
I know these are a lot of questions, but unfortunately, this is my everyday car, so I
am sort of stranded without it.    Many thanks again for any suggestions.


Tony.
