Default 99 vw GOLF loss of power...tried everything...please help

was that a vw dealer ignition coil (transformer) or aftermarket. That might
be your problem if it was an aftermarket!
I only recommend purchasing them from the dealer. I have had problems
with aftermarket brands.
Of course I only recommend BOSCH distributor rotors also.
Both of those things above could give you problems that you are
experiencing.
