If you are still driving around without an oxygen sensor and without the
missing parts (near your air distribution box) you are chasing the wind,
my friend. Without a working O2 sensor, (and all the other
sensors/injection components) your van cannot use the correct
programming to manage the amount of fuel to inject.

Disconnecting things is not the answer. Assembling all the parts that VW
designed into the fuel management system is the answer. The sooner the
better.

Long term fuel imbalance can cause overheating, burned valves, and a
host of other annoyances.

Subject: It stalls and I need help!

Well I checked all conections this weekend.  And all is well the van
starts
fine.  After running a few seconds it slowly stalls out.  I have to
start
driving to get it to start.  Once in gear it stalls quicker (if the
engine
has been running for about 1/2 hour it runs a little better)  I set the
idle
about 1000 so when I put it in gear and the idle drops it won't stall,
but it
still does.  When I take off the wiring from the coolant temp sensor the
idle
doesn't really change, it just smooths out.  I really don't have the $
to pay
someone to look at it.  If I have to I will but I want to check all the
things out I can on my own.
