Car runs great until 2500 rpm's then spits, sputters, jerks and wont go past that point. Replaced cam shaft sensor and crank shaft sensor. That is what code reader said it was but still no change.

Hello, it sounds like you may have a bad catalytic converter. A back pressure test should be done at the front oxygen sensor location. 1 1/2-2 psi maximum while the engine is running. If the catalytic converter is okay, doing a fuel pressure test is next, and while driving if that's when the problem occurs.
