## Discrepancy

EN ROUTE TO KRFD FROM IAH NR 3 ENGINE COMPRESSER STALLED ON DECELERATION OF DESCENT.  ON LEVEL OFF, ENGINE STALLED AGAIN WHEN POWER WAS APPLIED.  IT WAS DECIDED TO FLY DIRECT TO TOL.  POWER NOT ADJUSTED UNTIL NR 3 ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN ON FINAL APPROACH TO TOL.  MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BORESCOPE INSPECTION, AND NO DEFECTS WERE NOTED.  UPON FURTHER INSPECTION VSV AND VBV WERE FOUND OUT OF RIG.  MAINTENANCE RE-RIGGED VSV AND VBV IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE MANUELS.  OPERATIONAL CHECK GOOD.  AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
