Engine cutting out (sometimes!)

[Kneale Brownson]

There was a bunch of discussion of possible causes for this on the 200q20v

vacuum hose, deceleration valve, WOT switch, ISV  and O2 sensor and WGFV 
possibilities discussed.  You also could do an Audifans.com Google search 
on deceleration stalling.
