Default limp mode now start problem.

SOLVED: Crankshaft Sensor came lose. Probably didn't torque it enough after replacing my clutch.

seems to struggle to keep 500rpm. I tried giving it gas with no response.
On the way home the car seemed to go into some kind of limp mode. any time I'd go past 2,500 Rpm in any gear the car Would bog horribly. Started happening on the highway 10 minutes from my house. I tried to start the car later and today and this it what would happen.
The fuel pump still primes. Surely this isn't the MAF? It's just not starting properly. Maybe throttle body?
It's been raining these last few days, but the car has been covered the whole time.

Car has 80k miles, year 2006, and no mods.

Try pulling codes before you do anything else.

P0335 is a crankshaft position sensor code, not a camshaft sensor code.

There is only 1 crankshaft position sensor and it's mounted on the upper oil pan next to the flywheel. You may have replaced the wrong sensor.

Solved! Thank you.
Totally replaced the camshaft sensor instead of my crankshaft sensor.... Turns out my Crankshaft position sensor had come lose somehow. I just had to tighten the bolt back up. I Had recently done my clutch with help from a friend. Seems like we didn't torque it enough.
Car works fine now.
