Revving the engine in neutral doesn't prove much except that you're willing to annoy the neighbors. How does it drive? If you can keep it going and get up to speed and "pulling" good (well, as good as a 1500 CVCC will) while wide open by pressing the gas pedal slowly-- but it stalls if you stomp it down, check the accelerator pump.

Timing could be way off-- cam and/or spark.

Are all 4 cylinders working?
