1994 Jetta acceleration hesitation - Bogging Down

Please Help,
My 1994 Jetta is occassionally bogging down when first hitting the accelerator.
This happens when the car is first started (warm or cold). When I hit the gas the car only hits about 1800rpm and bogs down for a second while the check enging lite flashes. If I lay on the gas it will push through and rev up high like it should.
Sometimes it takes 20-40 seconds to go away. My quick fix has been to rev the car up really high a couple of times and that normally fixes it. Then I can drive as I please.

Any ideas?
Thanks, Greg gregerusa@yahoo.com

I'm having the same problem and have not found a fix. Mine bogs down in all gears (about 2500rpm's) cold or hot. If I keep my foot on the gas it doesnt work itself through. Did you get it fixed? What was the solution? Please help...

You should check your engine codes first. You can find the proceedure in my post on the thread "VR6 engine turns but won't start" in this forum. Post any codes here.
