Adrian:

Sorry for the late reply, but I read digest mode....

If you have the harness fix, it is not "Vanagon syndrome," which only happens on the highway after a long steady drives.

From my experiences with a Digitool, I suggest that you check the O2 sensor carefully. In my 2.1 '87, after a warm restart, it seems that the ECU/O2 pair don't like to start working together until the throttle switch has been punched. Before that, it loves to bog down or stall unless reved up. (Sometimes....)

Punching the throttle means the throttle switch. If the O2 sensor is working correctly, then maybe it is just a "feature" of your ECU.
