We have changed the throttle potion sensor, changed the spark plugs, coil park, fuel filter and fuel pump. It still barely moves in drive. It starts up fine even revs up but won’t accelerate much in drive. It’s driving me crazy cause I need it for work. Please help me!

It sounds like you have a clogged catalytic converter, but we should run the codes to see what comes up. Here are two guides to help get us started on fixing the problem:
