Try replacing any fuel filters the car has. If that does not work you will most likely need to put it on a diognostics scope.It would help to know if the car is cold, warm, hot, or any thing else it does prior to stalling.You can put that info. in my message board if you wish.Also if you choose to put it on a scope it will more then likely need to have that symtom @ the time of testing or the computer more then likely not detect the problem.

Is the fan functioning?
When a 1996 Jetta is not receiving any spark a diagnostic test should be done to troubleshoot the ignition system. Several problems can cause no spark such as spark plugs, the ignition coil, distributor, or spark plug wires.
Even though you replaced the coil, it may be bad. You should test that first. If the coil is okay, it could be that the ignition wires need to be replaced.
use a screwdriver
get a new lock
Please provide more info on what you mean by 'ignition'. Reason is that there are more specific items such as ignition coil (pack), ignition switch, etc...
The ignition relay on a 1995 Jetta is in the fuse box that is up inside the dash on the driver's side of the vehicle. To access this fuse box there are clips holding onto the cover and holding it into the dash.
Bad ignition rotor? Bad distributor cap? Bad ignition wires?
Part of the coil mounted to the fire wall
A knock sensor sends a voltage signal to regulate ignition timing. In a Jetta, it is typically located under the air intake manifold.

There are several reasons for this issue. There could be a loose connection to one of the battery terminals. There could be a short in the ignition switch. There could also be an issue with an electrical component.
