Re: 97 jetta ingnition/starting problems....

You would need to have a test light on the starter's trigger wire from the ignition switch to be sure it goes 12V+ when the key is turned. If it does & the starter doesn't engage then it's the starter. If it doesn't go 12V+ then the problem is probably in the ignition switch. '97's were well known for ignition switch failures.
