I'm now officially frustrated and confused - I've been working on getting an 
'89 GTi 16v back in fighting shape for use as my commuter/autocrosser since 
late August.  Yeah, I'm slow - sue me - between club racing, Grand Am Cup and 
Enduro  races, I've been a wee-bit busy and working in a hot and steamy (or now 
ice-cold) shop wasn't extremely enticing.  

In any case, the symptoms are that the car stumbles significantly off idle.  
However, once the rpms hit about 2000, it revs freely "like it should".  The 
car has fresh injector seals, plugs, cap & rotor as well as a new timing belt.  
I've checked the cam and ignition timing and it's spot-on.  I've also done the 
old "spray all the possible vacuum leak areas with brake clean" to check for 
leaks to no avail.  Any thoughts or suggestions?  Coolant temp sensor? 

I had the Rabbit Truckette parked next to the GTi over the summer while I had 
the injection pump rebuilt - maybe it hexed the GTi so that I wouldn't sell the 
Truckette in Spring...

I'd keep banging my head against the wall but the wall is starting to crumble...

Thanks all!!!!
Matthew
