Hello carrots, planets, boys an girls ,or what ever you identify as lol

finally got round to putting some serious time in on the mk2 gti this week, an im now at the stage of starting it. How ever when i turn the ignition on, i have spark on the plug nearest the ccambelt end. an only when ignition is switched on for the 1st time. then nothing on any of the plugs when im cranking, including the one that showed life, thou im assuming its only shorting out on ignition on

i would like to add, only thing. i havent put back on the golf is there alternator, thou i dont think this would stop it sparking ?
i have no imobilzer that im aware off, my cap an leads are ok, but again assuming i get a single spark there possibly not the issue

Hi on another forum someone had a similar problem. He finally solved the issue he found the coil was at fault.
