Always liked this body style, so finally bought a MkIII, but it came with a spun rod bearing. I have an unusual problem following a complete rebuild and reinstall. Engine starts easily and idles smoothly. It rpms smoothly up to 1800 rpm at which point it stalls as though the ignition had been shut off. I don't have a scanner for this old a car. Looking for advice before I buy another scanner. Have built many performance and stock engines in my life, but am much more a builder than an overall mechanic. Don't think the problem is mechanical. Any advice?

Don't need a scanner, just a paper clip.
Did you adjust the TPS?
Need to find the TSRM, lost all my bookmarks.

No I didn't adjust the TPS. Do you have the procedure? I do not have a "Check Engine" light once the engine is started, so I don't believe I'll have a diagnostic code.
You nailed it. Problem was caused by a bad Throttle Position Sensor. I swapped one off my '87 parts car onto my '89. Fixed now. Good job AJ !!!
