Stalling after shifting, while slowing to idle in gear.

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

My mk2 did the exact same thing. It was because the idle was too low. I cranked the idle up to about 1000rpms and no problems. That car has the 'self-adjsuting idle screw' mod, where it tightens over time so as soon as idle gets around 700rpm, whenever I coast to a stop light or something, it dies.

Alright, this has gone on lone enough.

The car ('84 rocco, 1.8 CIS) just dies after shifting. It used to be 
only if i used the gas and clutch at the same time to shift smoothly or 
during hard shifting, but now it does it all the time as you use the gas 
after a shift. It also stalls if you bring the car down to idle while 
still in gear (wayyyyy before it should stall in gear). It doesnt cut 
out or hesitate during acceleration in between shifts, and it has no 
symptoms while starting from a dead stop.

I've replaced the fuel pumps, so its not them for sure.

What else could it possibly be? Ignition?

Thanks for any input...please help,
Rhys
