Default Crank position sensor going out?

So last night it started going into limp mode and would not go above 2500 rpm. Tonight it had a rough time starting and idled around 2000 rpm between gear changes once warmed up. I have no check engine light but that doesn't mean there isn't a code so I am going to Advance tomorrow to see if they can pull some codes. Currently I am thinking crank position sensor?

What do you all think? It's a stock 2005 base model, 6 spd and has 94k miles on it...

Sorry but these 15 results didn't help to much.

I'll just see if I have any codes tomorrow and go from there. Thanks...

I have a 05 6speed and my crank position sensor went berserk at 40k miles. Everytime I gas'd the throttle the car would jolt crazily. I brought it to my local shop and changed out the sensor with a new OEM one and haven't had a problem since. Hope that helps?
