I meant to mention the fact that I checked the grounds....most of them.....
That's high on my fusebox area list of things-to-do

dark/late?

    Hijack:

    Plus, my Scirocco has a starting problem that might prevent me from
taking
    it!!

    There's no spark until the starter *stops* cranking...I have to hope it
    fires on that last revolution after I let the key off the start position
or
    it's prone to flooding.  Runs great otherwise.  This problem occurs only
    when starting.

    Bentley tests indicate an ignition control unit or coil.  The coil
    resistance looks OK.
    I pulled the fusebox and the car magically fired while it was dangling.
I
    may just replace the box, but my testing that been inconclusive thus far
and
    I'd something a bit more solid before I start part-swapping.  Does
anyone
    have a more complete set of tests for the ICU than those offered in the
    Bentley?  I really think it's a wiring gremlin, rather than an ICU....

    Also, is someone interested in sending/loaning a test ICU to me?  I
would
    buy it at a reasonable price, but I first need to determine it faulty.
