** 83 240 turbo**

ive limited my symptoms.... this should be quick!

the car has consistently started fine. revs to 1500 on its own and rests slightly under 1000. i rev it to 2500-3000, let off and it dies. starts again and idles. rev to 2500-3000, let off slowly and ease it to the idle speed, itll stay there. this happens when im driving too. although it only stalls at slow speed, i can let off at like 30 and be fine. but if im in a parking lot it will die unless i keep it alive.

Im thinking - throttle position sensor... or throttle switch (that clicking thing) what do you experts think?

one more thing -- in the first 10-15 min of driving it is down on power (not getting enough air it seems) but after that it pulls and drives like none other. could this be a fault o2 sensor that isnt working at first but warms up and starts working??! thanks!
