Unhappy jeep 1997 Engine running rough

Hi
Helping Grandson on his jeep, we rebuilt Engine put back in, Hooked everything up,triple checked Distributer timing, its ok, Injectors are working, but not sure he numbered them correctly when he took apart. It starts a little ragged, Idles fine but does not take the gas, or throttle, it Spits & pops. It has a code of PO135 02 heater senser curcit bank 1. will not Accelerate without poping & jerking. what could be wrong. New rings,Brgs, Gaskets, reworked head new oil pump ETC,Its not a stopped up cat convertor, I disconnected Exhaust Pipe. 1997 4.0 inline six

At the fuel rail what is the fuel pressure. Did you do any kind of leak down test?.
