Kirk,

Have you checked that throttle switch?  The one that is normally just
closed at closed throttle on my '84 was badly misadjusted at the
factory.  The switch must open immediately upon movement of the
throttle.  Use the adjusting screw to set this.  It is hard to believe
yours has gone for so long with no one finding this misadjustment, but
who knows.  My '84 was a VW lemon buy back because of this, and not a
single VW mechanic found the problem in two years/30,000 miles!
