I saw it on craigslist and as soon as I saw 1990 motor in s4 I stayed away from it, mixing engine series is just asking for headaches. But check for vac leaks.

I've got an 88 w/ an S5 engine, Idles at 750, gets 22 mpg under mixed driving conditions (city & highway, AC almost always on) in FL. Best I've gotten is 25.5mpg...

That being said, you should be able to get it running smooth. Start here:

It's the emissions part of the FSM. Assuming you still have the rich/lean idle pot, and a good TPS, all other idle control, and NO sources of vac leak, it shouldn't be that hard. Wonder if the recirculation port on the center iron was blocked off? Does it have an S4 or S5 intake manifold?
