Help mkiii not starting

[Streettyrant]

I drove and started it this morning and part of the afternoon I wasn't driving it hard just normal. Now the car won't start it turns over normally but won't actually start any suggestion. Something I might be overlooking I'm looking through it right now haven't found anything obvious. Thanks

Next time it does it try jiggling the cps wire by the connector and see if it starts.

What and where is the CPs wires

 

[BryanDyer]

The CPS is on the passenger side of the engine right on top/behind the thermostat housing.

What he said^^ I had a similar problem mine would crank but wouldn't start unless i moved the cps or jiggled the wires going to it. Re-did the wiring and timed it correctly and problem went away

Well that info would have helped.

Have you checked for codes?

Well that info would have helped.

Have you checked for codes?

Haven't been able to yet I did do a little research I think It might be the ignitor

 

[hvyman]

Have you checked for spark or fuel?

Fuel pump come on?

Ecu getting power or has it been repaired at all?

 

[Streettyrant]

ok so i pulled a spark plug and it sparks so would that rule out the igniter? and what would be that best way to check the fuel system without dropping the fuel tank?
