Angry '85 jetta running VERY rough!!

One day I got in my 85 Jetta GLI and started it up and it ran like CRAP! It ran like it was missing horribly, but didn't really know. I changed plugs , wires, cap and router. No change. I ran a compression check and it is fairly close. When I took off my new plugs, there was wet fuel on them (a fair amount). Any thoughts? I bought the car real cheap, but don't want to give up yet. It seems like parts are so expensive!

Check the resistance across the coolant temp sensor pins (located in flange where upper radiator hose joins cylinder head). Resistance should be 2000-3000 Ohms cold & go to 200-300 Ohms at operating temp.

If the readings are incorrect, replace it.
