That's pretty bad advice. You can replace an ECU for under $100, you can't go carbed for that. Anyway, what makes you believe your ECU is bad and you don't have another problem?

If I'm not mistaken, he just put a TII engine in his car. Yea, go ahead and go carbed, not like it'd be 'expensive' and 'pointless' or anything.

Check that your AFM is plugged in. Another common one is mixing up the fuel lines. IIRC both will give symptoms like your seeing.

Take Henrik's advise and check the afm's connector is on. I accidently left mine off last week and it puzzled me for a few moments. Had symptoms just like yours.
