My 89 had a PCM and relays that all were in the starting circuit. If you have a book on one look there. I had to go buy one to work on mine. It never failed to try to start though. Good luck, Jeff.

I have a 89 VW Cabriolet, with a 1.8,, check your ground and relays,,, Could also be the timing belt, check your distrubtor and of course firing order and rotor,, could also be the hall sender in the distrubtor you can also post this question on www.vwvortex.com if you dont have a Bentley manual, those are invaluable for repairing your VWs,, dont get the chiltons or haynes,, for imported rigs... learned that the hard way.. BTW,, is the fuel pump(s) engaging when you turn on the ignition?
