Running problem

[marc_scirocco at sympatico.ca (marc_scirocco)]

Very hard to tell for a 16V, but if it were my 8V, I'd look for a vacuum
leak related to the warm up circuit. Especially the valve and hoses behind
the intake manifold, don't remember the names, or if there is a 16V
equivalent. 

Just trying to be helpfull here.

Cheers.
