I see that it's an '87. There's a common problem '87s and '88s (and I assume earlier LH 2.2s) have when they get older.
Take a look at the dashpot. It's a small, round thing, shaped sort of like a flying saucer, with a small, rounded shaft coming out of it. When your throttle is closed, a part of the throttle bellcrank will touch the shaft. It's right in front of the throttle bellcrank. You can't miss it.
It's supposed to let the throttle close slowly through the last few degrees of travel. If it lets the throttle slam shut, it's bad and you either need to adjust it or, if it's really bad, replace it.
Like I said, that's a common problem with LH 2.2 turbos.
