I had this problem before and I took the fuel rail off and inspected the injectors and it somehow went away. Then I did a pull and after I did the car would die if I was cruising and pressed the clutch in and let the rpms drop.

The car also idles very weird, still at 1k but feels like its on 3 cylinders. The plugs are good and no boost leaks. Builds boost okay and while cruising doesnt do anything crazy. Feels a bit slower but it could be me getting used to 16psi again.

Sometimes at idle it creeps from 900rpms to 1400ish. Arcs in every well when I pulled the wires and the injectors all had an effect when pulled. Maybe a fuel pump?

Any ideas?
 
Dont know if this applies to a 2g or not but on my 1g theres a wire on the throttle body that sometimes breaks off or just gets knocked off while working in the engine bay. The wire lets the ECU know that the throttle is shut. My 1g had the same problems until I fixed the wire.
 
There is only 2 plugs on the throttle body with all vac lines capped off. Both are on good and working.

The plugs are grey on the electrode and the porciline is not fouled out. So Spark is working good.

It leads me to believe in injectors or maybe the ecu. Each cylinder fires but the car is running very rough like its not getting enough fuel.
 
Check your master to see if its adjusted correctly, and also in my case replacing the pcv valve fixed the issue
