i have a 91 tsi awd auto and i am trying to get the thing running. I can get it to start and idle fine, but when you go to press on the gas it bogs and wants to die/dies. there are no vac/boost leaks, the ecu is good, i set the base timing, i swaped out maf sensors, and put in fresh gas. what would make the car run like this? i am thinking that the cas is possibly bad, or the coil pack or something along those lines, what do you guys think?

i forgot to mention that its not throwing any trouble codes.
 
I had that problem too but i can't remember exactly what fixed it because when i got the car it had sooo many problems. There's a little switch on the throttle body that the throttle sits against when it is closed, it must be just to tell the ecu if the throttle is open or not. The wire broke off of mine and i had similar problems check that out.
 
the closed throttle switch is all conected and sems to be working. i will check the injector wires today, but they seem to be in good shape. is there a way to test the cas?
