Check the turbo pipes for internal splitting , this will block air flowing through to the engine. Also check if a catalitic convertor is fitted , this could be blocked.

I would consider changing the vehicle speed sensor. When they go bad, they can really throw out a lot of bad data to the computer, resulting in unexpected behavior like you're experiencing. They're only around $20-$25. I hope this helps! :)

1.9 dci splutter on idle
What are the fault codes. Also it is still missing when you rev it up, the increased engine speed masks the missfire.

Vw golf mark4 over revs
Hello James,

If the engine revs up with no increase in speed, your clutch is slipping. Probably the reason the car was sold!

Glow plug light flashing
the glow plug are used to heat the fuel on start up only, as a diesel uses compression instead of a spark (from the spark plug) have you try checking the connection on the glow plug, or changing the glow plugs themselves?

Engine cuts out when requiring boost
check Fuel pressure regulator by disconnecting the vacuum hose. Didn't say what year you have, yet the timing belt can also cause this as I had similar problems on an 87 and the belts were loose and floppy causing erratic firing/idling. A little easy trick to check timing belts without taking any parts off to get at timing belts, is (and no one knows about this one, hee) with a timing light!

You either have a bad mass air flow sensor or the intake manifold is stopped up, or both.
