'92 golf hard start/no run
 

My girlfriends golf is very hard to start and will not idle.
I have checked it out and I have narrowed it down but still cannot figure it out. I have established that there is fuel pressure, spark, the idle air bypass is ok, ignition module is ok, and there is sufficient air flow. While
testing the input to the coil I noticed a slightly erratic spark condition right before the car dies. By trial and error i discovered it wasnt the ignition module. I think it is the stator in the distributor but I'm not sure.
PLEASE HELP.
