Exclamation New Crank Position Sensor (CPS) worse issue

I had a starting issue on my 04 D2 with 183K. It would crank but not start for a while then slowly start like at zero RPMs. Looked on here and sounded like the CPS. So I bought a new one and installed it. When I was installing it I had to take the Y pipe off and I could not reach the clip enough to get it back on. Now that is back together I still have the same issue and now I have loss of acceleration. Once i get up to 70 MPH it runs OK but no power. Idle is OK. Any ideas? MAF? I put a new Power steering pump and lines on as well....That works like a champ! I do get error codes...OBO P0134, P0135, P0154 and P0155. O2 sensors all four but would that cause the power loss? Hope some can help..Thanks in advance.

I'm randomly getting the exact same codes as you
I think I may have a vacuum leak or small exhaust leak

i will I'll be doing a smoke test to check all connections

I bought a new cps and the truck ran worse also. I bought a used one from the upullit for $3 I think just to try it and the truck ran perfect. Its hit or miss with cps sometimes. I keep a spare on hand.

Ugh really.... spent like $60 on a good one... I guess I can try putting on a cheap one. Would the CPS make the truck not have power on acceleration? This is what I have done new power steering pump and lines I also put on a new Throttle body heater plate as the old one was leaking. I did clean the inside with brake cleaner. I noticed that there was a sensor in it could that be why I don't have power on acceleration? After I did that I replaced the CPS because the truck was not starting right. Maybe I did not need the CPS at all??? HELP :-(

My fat hands could not reach the CPS clip to get it off the harness clip. Just made it easier to work on. A few videos showed that taking the Y pipe off made it easier to work on.

I think you should try to explain your problem a little better.

do you have rpms but no speed? Acceleration is slow?
Are you missing?
Any check engine lights?

2004 D2 183K.
1. Starts and idles fine.
2. When I accelerate no power RPMs do not go up until you feather the gas peddle.
3. can get it on the highway up to 70 but takes a long time getting there. No power
4.Check engine lights are p0135, p0134, p0154 and p0155 all four O2 sensors. But that should have nothing to do with acceleration right?

I did clean the throttle body housing with break cleaner when I put on the new Throttle body heater plate and I see that it has a sensor on it. Wondering if I killed that sensor.

Low fuel pressure? Clogged cats?
