disclaimer: I know nothing about the FI systems on those newfangled (read: post-CIS) cars other than messing with a Corrado G60 occasionally... BUT...
is there some kind of idle stabilizer valve that needs to be cleaned? or something that lets extra air into the intake when the A/C is switched on? (note: this only applies if it dies when the engine tries to return to idle)
just a thought

YO... dude! Try replacing the ignition coil, plug wires, cap and rotor.
Regards, YO Dude..

Check the distributor, the rotor, and the distributor cap. Replace them if they have not formally been replaced.
Happened to my wife's 96 Jetta 4 cyl. It was the ignition switch. Notorious problem. Replace the electrical part of the switch from underneath the dash. There is a small screw holding it in. Good Luck.
