FOUND THE PROBLEM, very difficult to find without swaping parts. The powerstage when it goes bad on this sometimes won't work in the cold or not well. It cuts out on the highway because it is cooling off. It will start up after sitting because the very hot manifold heats it up again, but it is intermitten and may work fine in the shop or not start even heated up. Even though your coil is good you still have to buy it to get the power stage. If you notice in the book carefully there is no check for the powerstage itself only the signal and wiring from the computer this tricked me for a while. The powerstage handles the ground to fire the coil's spark. I'm talking 90 Passat. Good Luck
