Default Car wont run below 1000 rpm

The car now wont run below 1000rpm, it just dies.

I've just fitten a new ecu and that has seemed to cure a few of my problems. The car has done 175k miles, could the cam belt tensioner be shot? Virtually everything else on the engine has been replaced.

Cheers
Simon

Its a MY96 Sport and the MAFs fine, I see no difference in the car using my mates MAF. Although I haven't tried it with the new ecu.

did you reset the ecu when you tried the working maf?

the ecu will learn with the failing maf.. and still run bad on the new one possibly.

Yes I did. Always do an ecu reset when I try something.
