95' Jetta Problems

I have 95' jetta celebration edition. It is a 5 speed andhas 160k miles. One day shut it off and tried to start it no more than 5min. later and it just turned over and would not do anything. I have another post on here and many thought it was the timing belt but it wasnt. It is at a mechanic now and they cant seem to figure it out either. They said it has spark, fuel injuctor pulse, ignition pulse, and everything it needs to run. They took out the alarm(after market,(in thecar when I bought it)because they said that it was spliced into other wires and it was a huge mess. The mechanic was surprised that it didnt catch the whole car on fire. He said that it could be shortin out the ignition system and not alowing it to start. Well today he did everything to it to try to get it to run but had no luck. He replaced the crank sensor(he said it didnt look so good)and he still cant get it to do anything. He said he was trying to run it off propane(doesnt sound right but hes the mechanic) and also try to hook it up to his own fuel system by bypassing to fuel pump. He talked to a vw technician all day and hasnt figured much out. If anyone has any ideas on what could possibly be wrong please help me the car has been at the mechanic for long enough and i dont have the money for them to be pickin at straws and just replacing stuff tryin to figure it out. Please help me.
