Same car, same problem

Hey, I too have a 1995 Passat GL 4 cyl that lags a bit. It's strange though because it doesn't seem to be consistent. My problem is when the car is stopped and I attempt to start the car it "boggs" down for just a few seconds, then kicks into normal power and I take off like a rocket. It takes about 2-3 seconds to recover. The car does not do this at all if it's moving (not sure if it's torque specific). I gave it to two mechanics the first told me nothing was wrong and I was nuts, the second said it was the idle stop which he adjusted (and the problem got better; "boggs" less & recovers faster) but alas I am still dealing with it. The car runs perfect otherwise I am just anal about perfection. Any thoughts?

New Gas Filters; Plugs/Wires; Core; belts; breaks...
O2 sensor? Vacuume sensor? Fuel Injection?
