ANY ideas would be appreciated!
Well Bob, there is no "limp home" mode. What happens is if a unit is having problems that the ECU cannot use, it then runs a set of tables for that unit so that the car will run.
If it runs OK till 1500, I would say that the Mass Air Flow sensor is not operating, and the ECU is running an set "idle" of tables that unit.
Can't think of any other unit that would cause it.
