After a stop it will be very sluggish to accelerate, I have to put the pedal the entire way down to get the car going and it will go from about 9 MPH to 30 MPH fast while making the RPMs jump to 6.

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can, see? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. Also, we need to run the codes to see what comes up so we can head in the right direction.
