OT: passat vr6 questions

[redbug64@hotmail.com (Jason Arms)]

This question is for all you rocco heads who are also driving passats :)

The car is a '93 Passat VR6 wagon, Auto tranny, leather interior, 65k miles 
on car. Will not start:

It cranks fine and dandy, not too fast like its got a broken timing chain or 
no compression.

Im not hearing anything from the fuel pump at all. I put wires from a 
booster pack to the brown and red terminals on the plug in to the fuel pump 
and still heard nothing so im assuming that the pump is shot.. im also 
hoping that that is whats causing the car to not run.

There is a black controlor box of some sort under the rear seat, it has VW 
part number 357 959 875 written on it and it also has EAP 12v- written on 
it, 2 electrical connectors, one brown, the other white. This box is making 
a pretty loud clicking noise when the car is cranking... any ideas as to 
what it is, and if its supposed to be clicking?

The car IS getting spark, the hall sender on the side of the distributor is 
broken off, but it is still plugged in at the car sided, and into the 
distributor with the actual electrical connections. The distributor also had 
some oil in it due to a leaking seal i guess. But the car is getting spark 
so the hall sender shouldnt matter right?

If people could help to identify the clicking black controler box under the 
rear seat, and give me an idea how much a fuel pump might run me and maybee 
a distributor that would be great! Thanks
