Does the CEL come on when it acts up at 1500 RPM or does it light as soon as you turn the key? It sounds like you're in limp home mode, is it running really rich? Which ECU are you using?

So you have a ZC ECU, and a ZC engine, so you should wire it for the single wire o2 sensor, and if you don't have a ZC ECU, just use a non-ZC O2 sensor that is compatible with the ECU..
