'96 A4 12V no spark problem (camshaft & ECU)
No spark on any of the cylinders.
While testing the camshaft sensor per Bentley instructions, not getting any power to the sensor from ECM / ECU
Wiring is good. Bentley says replace ECU.
Vagcom reads engine module but no codes.
Anything else I can test to make sure it's the ECU?
Thanks

A faulty cam position sensor would set a fault code- so for now I'd skip that one.
The starting point for a no-spark condition is the ICM, in my opinion. This sits on the air box, and is a triple power transistor for the three ignition coils. Low-current signals from the ECU trigger the power transistor switches in sequence to fire the plugs. First check that both of the connectors are clean and seated properly. Also, the ignition coil connector behind the driver's side cylinder head should be checked. I'll take a look later at the schematic to see what you should find with a DVM at the ICM's connectors.
