Engines start but wont rev up
 
I just replaced my engine in my 87 cherokee. its the straight 6. I got it to start and everything but when i push on the throttle nothing happens. does any one have ideas. idk what to do. im only 18 so im not the smartest one jeeps yet but i know my fair share. if you know what is wrong. call me please 480-861-2705 im verizon so if you have it its free long distance and what now. i only have about 4 hours to try and fix it.

heres everything i've done:

-change spark plugs
-checked fuel pump(its good)
-changed fuel filter
-changed computers for my new engine(it was a three year difference)
-timing is on

when i push my foot on the gas it moves it

What moves. Check the throttle cable at the throttle body, check the TPS.
