I bought a 1989 1.8 VW Golf. We replaced the starter, the coil, the engin control module, the distrubutor, spark plugs and new bougie cords. Nothing. My car just swings, it won't spark. When tested there is no spark. We tested the coil. When the car isn't on it gives out 12V but the minute you try to start the car it goes down to between 0 - 6V. We think the previous owner had a immobilizer in that he just took out (not in the right way). I don't know where to look for answers anymore and I surely don't have the money for rewiring of my whole car.
You are describing a bad ignition switch. These fail in such a way that the voltage to the ignition fails while in the crank position.
SOURCE: No spark Power to coil New wires and new coil
Usually the ignition controll module or pickup coil. Your local auto parts store should be able to test the module for you.
