Filter makes no difference TBF unless you're driving through rocks, sandstorms etc. It mearly filters crap/restricts airflow, which the ECU compensates for.

Now, what really might make the difference is....reading the stickies (at the top of this section), which do ask you to post the year of donor engine

I know you posted the ECu number etc but it ain't worth bobbins with Scoobies

Engine, Donor and year.

You might owe me a "slab" and JP (well it's his site) some cookies after.
I'm negotiable on "slabs" - "Lava java" and "Morgan's Spiced"

Disconnect the battery to reset the ecu and try again, have a look http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Knowledge/ECUResetloads of info on the restting and learning of the ecu.
