Either harness fix will work - with or without the A.

  Try unplugging your O2 sensor.  When they foul, you get the results you are getting.  If unplugging fixes your problem, its time for a new O2 sensor.

  The other day my 87 syncro westy drove like crap. For a while it has had
intermittent problems with bucking and hesitation, but the other day it went
from being like a flu to being like the black death. As I drove the five
minutes from the store home it went from losing power and bucking to completely
losing power. If I switched it off and restarted it fired up fine , and ran
fine at full power for a several minutes, then a couple of minutes, until
ultimately I was flipping it on and off every 100 yards or so to limp home. When
in its fugue the throttle did nothing, I could floor it without the engine
responding. I thought the dreaded vanagon syndrome came from running one speed
for a while?

Is the corrected afm part supposed to have an A after it? I checked and my
harness is 025 906 302, without the A. I also looked in the air filter and
found a bit of water in there, which has soaked into the air filter a bit.
Probably a red herring, but that can't be helping things.

Help?
