Deffinitely something to do with you ECU double check all the fuses, and wiring to and from it, you might get off easy with something a lot cheaper to fix then a Blown ECU.

Sounds like you have an electrical nightmere on your hands. I don't know if you'd be better off grabbing a harness & ECU from a parts car to ensure that everything is ok, or rebuilding the harness. Who knows what else is fried.

Hmm - it runs OK above 2K & dies below 2K..

I'd start by looking for a BIG vac leak.

well from what he described the engine is cutting off completely, to me that sounds like the fuel pump trigger in the AFM is closing which will kill the motor suddenly like this and is generally caused by a leak in the system which is not pulling the flapper door open as it should.
