Replaced crankshaft position sensor but still ran just as bad, maybe worse. Disconnected battery, ran good for a day then back to bad with check engine light on. Goes on and off but still shows code for crankshaft position sensor when the light is on

Yep, the sensor is not the problem, the computer is telling you the camshaft is not in the correct position while the engine is running, here is a guide to help you fix it.
