disconnected battery now firebird cant get above 2000rpm without dying HELP!

I have a 1992 3.1 firebird that I finally got running and put about 500 miles on it and decided to start fixing some of the other things wrong with the car thinking it was running perfect not a single issue so I decided to replace my window motor and disconnected the battery before doing so after i was done put everything back together and let the car do a idle relearn for about 20 min it idles good right around 800 to 900 but now when I press the gas pedal it will climb to 2000 RPM start running rich and either sound like its gonna die or will die I have no idea what to do from this point please help me out thank you!
