It's a sign that he is supposed to finish the MKIII!

Check the wires @ the distributor cap for green corrosion and check the connection to the hall sender on the distributor. You can also check for fault codes, you'll need to remove the cover on the drivers side of the rain tray to see if it is Digi I or Digi II Then follow instructions here:

Re: brother in law needs help
check the grounds on the back of the cylinder head where the valve cover bolts on, if those were dirty/bad, he might have fried his ignition control module however im trying to think if those had ICM's
probably loose ground, 95% guarantee. check the ones on the battery too, also check the ground from the battery that goes to the body, and then to the tranny mount! good luck. i would be willing to bet that 10 minutes with trevor and myself it would be runnin
