There's all kinds of fuel-related problems that can cause this and the best
bet is to work through the possible issues logically, using a step-by-step
approach.  There's good information, including Jetronic manuals, over in the
library of the Type2 site.

Many years ago I had a similar problem with my '81 which I eventually traced
to a weakened AFM air-vane spring that over-enriched the fuel/air mixture to
the point that I couldn't set the mixture properly (lean enough) using the
adjusting screw.  A simple tightening of the spring fixed that.

Problem with my 81 Vanagon (imagine that).
If I stall out while accelerating, the engine floods and it takes upwards of
40 minutes to restart. rather embarassing if it happens in a public place.
So far it hasn't happened in an intersection (yet). Anyone else have this
problem or an idea what the problem is?
