Help

My 97 Audi 2.8 quattro wont start. I changed the spark plugs the other day from the stock ngk's to bosch plus fours. But when i drove home today and decided to go back out, it wont start. I have figured out it is getting fuel but their is no spark. Can anyone help me out? Thanks

Well when i try to start my car, it turns over ok, but no spark right, and the cooling temp signal flashes and gives of a prominant beeping noise. Guess im going to have it towed after all. But thanks. I really appreciate it.

Coolant sensor change is like a 5 min job

They will charge you almost 100 bucks at a dealership to do it though. I think the tech section has a writup on it.
