Default COIL not firing on one coil pack

Can anyone please give me some advice on how to rectify this problemI have replaced the plugs, wires, coil that isn't firing, and power transister unit below coil packs, and I am still not getting any SPARK.

I would check fuses, wireing harnesses and perhaps even the ECU.

I had the same coil quit firing on my TT. After a weeks worth of tracing wires, a finally settled on the ECU. I would have started with the ECU, but it had been rebuilt previously. After swapping in a known good ECU, it ran perfect. I purchaced a rebuilt ECU from a chain auto parts store and have not had any problems since.

did you have power running to the coil as well and it still didn't fire?

Actually, yes. I would fire upon initial start-up, then after running for a minute or so, the spark would just kinda fade away.
