It will not go past forty five mph and max twenty five mph up hill. When I press down hard on the gas it bogs down. When not in gear the engine runs fine. Checked the fuel pressure it is fine, still replaced the fuel filter though. Any thoughts?

Scan for codes and check for a clogged/blocked catalytic converter.
