Volkswagen Repair: 1996 2.0 Jetta, crankshaft sensor, vw diesel

Question
The engine stopped and does not fire. I have replaced crankshaft sensor, distributor, coil, checked timing, continuity from sensors to computer. I do not know what else to check. Please help me.

  I wish I could help.  The reason that I drive the older VW diesel models is because I can keep them running.  Newer computer-controlled engines are beyond my ability.  However, you did not mention if you replaced the main computer...sometimes you can find one at a wrecking yard for a reasonable price.  Also look for a garage in your area that has a diagnostic program for your engine, as this might give you the answer to your problems without a computer changeout.  Jerry
