You'll need to specify what car you're talking about, as well as any details before suggestions can be given.

Vacuum/metered air leak or TPS issue can cause symptoms like that. There are links in the 2nd gen FAQ that go into detail about setting a TPS. A common source of a leak is at the plastic TID connected to the turbo inlet. They're usually cracking after 20+ years.

There's no post count restriction to see links. The 2nd gen FAQ is stickied at the top of this section, as well as the 2nd gen tech section.
