First thing I did was look at the fuses. Replaced coils, computer, etc., to no avail. Finally, after about $300 worth of (used!) parts, I thought maybe the connection behind the fuse box was toast. So I pulled the fuse, and it came apart in my hand. The fuse had rusted and the connection was intermittent, but the metal part inside the glass was still intact. I know this isn't very useful for a VW, since we use the euorpean type fuses, but a similar type of problem could conceivably occur. I guess this post might save someone a few bucks sometime.
