It has no power eccelerating and i have to kinda pump the gas pedal to make it shift down or it revs up high and isnt really doin more than 20 to 30 mph it sounds like what ive heard people describe as a throttle sensor ive tried to adjust mine even bought a new one still nothin i checked my crank sensor in the back of the manifold it wasnt clogged my motor runs good when idlin im not pullin any codes

It does sound like a throttle issue. I suggest you invest in a DMM and study how to check for voltage readings on each wire and compare to spec. Also, is your throttle clean? Replacing a sensor that has been adapted to a filthy throttle will now be cutting of air supply with the blade back to factory position. Try removing and cleaning the throttle, then use a feeler gauge/DMM or the few methods of properly installing the tpms sensor.
Not sure if you are explaining it right.. but if you are experiencing rpms shooting way up high and aren't accelerating, you may have a slipping transmission. But what you describe as having to feather the throttle to get response seems more like a TPS issue. There is also the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor on the back side of the throttle. If this isn't doing its job you wont get throttle response either. Diags are harder when there's no codes to go off of. You'll just have to lean how to test sensors. If you can't or don't feel comfortable. Just go in for a professional diagnosis.
