Its gone from bad to stupid.
Drove over the last few days, using starter fluid to warm start. A pain, but I could get around.
Took the car to the local Audi guru and he adjusted the IGN distributor timing. Shut off wait a moment and it fires up! Looking good!
Needed to change a couple other items (cap, bad plug wire etc.) And put everything together.
Go to start, nothing. Triple check everthing! Nothing. Won't even fire on starting fluid now!!!
There is spark present though. When cranking, we get a few pops from the exhaust.
He is going to look at the timing belt to see if it jumped a tooth through this whole nonsense!
What a pain!!!

double check the distributor adjustment before dismantling the eng. as it ran prior to this adjustment. It's unlikely that the belt jumped teeth unless the belt is near falling off.

one thing I noticed when tuning my car (and I'm no pro at it) is while adjusting the distributor with engine running, the car would run and drive but would not restart. sometimes it would "catch" or maybe if I waited 10 or so minutes it would start. I found that my adjustment was just to far.

That is exactly what happened. I am guessing us being a-holes and spraying with fluid backfired and it dropped the belt back 2 teeth. Further, the distributor was JUST off enough where warm starts were a no-go! Belt was reset and going to test again today!
