If the revs stick at 1250 rpm then the engine thinks that the throttle position sensor is faulty.

The sensor itself is usually very reliable. The wiring less so. The sensor also needs to be adjusted correctly for it to work also. i.e. it needs some slack in the cable as part of the sensor is an idle switch that connects when the throttle is at idle.

Check the TPS voltage at the sensor and again at the ECU and see if there is a wiring issue (check that none were damaged during the cambelt changes).
