Default Escort 1.6 zetec rev problems

Hi guys , I've got a 1.6 Zetec escort. (1997)
On revving/driving its stuttering going up the rev range, almost like it could be over fueling.
I disconnected the MAF sensor and it run fine ,so I changed that (with a second hand one from a scrap yard ) and when connected that up had the same problem.
Have I just been unlucky and picked up a dud one or does it sound like another problem.
Thanks
Dave

As it is a zetec, look for tracking on the plugs, unless you are using BOSCH plugs in which case bin them.
