Hello, had a problem similar to this.  The van would be running fine and
then just die as soon as I decelerated dramatically.  Happened on a exit
ramp several times.

Here is a website describing the problem.  VW sells a wiring harnes that
attaches to the air flow meter to fix it.  However, it is aroung $150.00.
The website has a more homemade fix.

Hey all---

Mike gave me a call last night and said that all was much better, and
asked me to say thanks to several of the member's  suggestions,and
help--- the Van has made it to PA. ( with Mike in it )

He is still having idling problems---sometimes it idles, sometimes it
doesn't---

He did have a vacuum leak at the idle stabilizer--but the problem
persists occasionally---

He'll be in the Pittsburgh area for two days, and if any of you in that
area have any idea's or fixes for him--- get in touch with him on his
cell phone---

916-747-1255.

Later,

            ______________
