Dodge stratus with a 4 cylinder/dual overhd cam has the check engine light on but when chekd it only says that the light is on. It won't acclerate past 2300 rpm. Hesitates and sputters, have chekd the fuel pump and filter, changed plugs and wires, and the coil pak. I have bought a cam shaft position sensor and a crank shaft position sensor hoping that wil do the trick. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Could be caused by one of the following below

Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Crankshaft position sensor
Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
Cap and rotor.

Note:If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing.
