Lightbulb audi b5 sat now will crank but not start

so i let my Audi sit for a week in the cold forgot about the vent on the carbon fiber hood and it snowed melted and froze all on the ignition coils.Im assuming that's the problem,the fuel pump is kicking on and we unscrewed it and it is getting fuel in the rail,CAN IT BE THE CPS OR crankshaft position sensor, it is getting compression,theere is just no spark at all....turned the key to acc stuck a test light in the ignition coils nothing lit up any help at all trying to figure this out is suppose to be kind of nice tomorrow

yea.. that water probably damaged some wiring or something... do you have a scanner to check for faults? did you check to make sure that there is power before the wires?? to the coil packs"

did you check to see if the coil packs are getting power?
or if the the module is? because if they are getting power but not sending it thru the wire i'd say yes to getting new coil pack/ module.. or you could always go SWAG method and just throw parts at it
