84 rabbit gti wont crank

[JMB83celica]

i have an '84 rabbit gti 8v and the thing will not crank for nothing, but it will spin over like it wants to but it just won't. i have tried everything reset the timing, new control pressure reg., spark plugs and wires. i have noticed a really weak spark and when i disconnected the gas line to the cold start valve gas went everywhere but when i disconnected the others nothing; could my problem be the fuel ditributor? any info welcomed

thanx

Pop out an injector & lift the air flow plate in the fuel distributor housing (while the fuel pump is running) & see if it sprays fuel.

i've taken out an injector but i did not lift the air plate so i will try that, i know it's not the injector they are brand new. If nothing comes out then what could it be?

Fuel pump, incorrect fuel pressure, fuel distributor.... You may need a special CIS fuel pressure gauge.

check the pick up coil in the distributor sometime the wires in there get sliceced by the spining rotor underneath the little plastic protector

feul pump or blocked feul accumulator under the right rear of rabbit next to pump
