If its a carb sounds luike the same problem that I was having both when I fitted my k+n to my pierburg and recently when I fitted my 32/34 weber.
Try when waiting at a junction/traffic lights (where safe to do:) reving the engine with the clutch in past the point where it doesn't work then switch the engine off and then on again. I found that the problem was sorted after this for the rest of the journey.
I put up with it for about 6-8 journeys after this and then noticed that the problem has gone. I would be very interested to see if you get the same result. I never actually found what the problem was but I think it was a blocked jet or somit.
good luck.
Possibly a blocked idle jet or air leak if you have a carb
its a gsi,done 77000 miles,thanks for all your help so far lads

blocked injector? Have you got a Haynse Manual?
Does the ECU light come on when it does it?
