My mk2 1.8 has been stalling. Usually it's when I'm in town and have
to stop quickly. I put in the clutch and the revs drop to zero. It
always starts right back up. It doesn't happen all the time. Every
once and awhile the revs drop to zero then it bounces up to 2500,
then
normal idle. It's a 90 with about 155000 miles. Otherwise runs
strong and has a fairly recent timing belt, plugs, cap, etc. Can
anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

1.8 GTI, or carb?

And did it say a damn thing about leaving?
