Weird Problem After Restarting Engine

Car runs fine when first started and driven, but after turning off the engine and restarting, it will not go above 10-15mph, will not shift, and stutters/loses power. What would cause this? Already replaced Distributor, Distributor Cap, and Fuel Injector. Currently thinking it may be a problem with the MAP Sensor.
Do you
have the same problem?

Does it act bad in neutral too or just under driving loads?
