My mk3 was stumbling and stalling when it rained. Replaced cap, wires, spark plugs, rotor, coil, everything is in correct firing sequence. Made sure the rotor was in the right place, still no cigar. Replaced the battery too, When i crank it it just doesnt turn over and start. Any ideas of what to look out for?
My mk3 will crank but not start after replacing many common parts.

Do anything to confirm spark?it made the smell of fuel when cranked
I replaced the plugs so I wouldnt imagine why there wouldnt be a spark. My friend has a thing to test the wires to make sure the current is going through them, when i get time we will check this.Stop killing suspects
2.0 4cyl, yes.
belt is in one piece. We reset the 1st piston to the top, to match the rotor. still no cigar.

Or the engine RPM sensor... either can cause a crank but no start scenario. Or so I've heard.

New spark plugs does not guaranty that there's electricity getting to them.
Pull a plug out lay it against something metal and try to start the car, is it sparking?
Did you check all your timing marks per the bently manual or dan j reeds page ?
Why did the timing need to be reset?
If your problem started when the car was wet it's most likely a problem with your coil or ignition system.
