92 Jetta Digi no start problems

[sharpshooter33 at roadrunner.com (David Brown)]

did ether and I can smell it when I've got the plugs out and if I've tired 
starting it for awhile. sure it's getting fuel.

Are you getting fuel? Give it a shot of ether and see if it fires. That will
most likely point to a fuel (pump) concern.

 Ok here's where I am.  I've checked fuel getting plenty, so it's some place
with spark and timing

I've replaced: plugs and coil
tested hall sensor and ICU.  I'm getting signal from hall.
I also tested compression 3 of 4 tested around 125psi. Other one was alittle
low(90psi) but that shouldn't cause a complete no start.

PO stated he had it running after sitting for along time.  He reset the
timing marks on the cam and water pump pulley's.  Then put new plug wires
and distributor cap on.  He set the dizzy and got it to run for about a day
then it quit and wouldn't start again.

I'm pretty convinced that the dizzy timing is FUBAR'd.

It turns over, but doesn't even appear to fire at all.  I've pulled the
plugs and they show spark.  Looks weak to me, but I'm used to looking at HEI
so it's probably fine especially with the new coil.

My questions are this:
1. Is there a quick and easy to set the dizzy timing?
2. Is there any other things I should check?

I'm planning on checking the signal all the way thru the hall thru the digi,
icu, and to the coil, but I'm pretty sure that's not it.


Thanks
David
