Default Engine lacks power

I have tried just about everything. I have changed the ignition module, coil, spark plugs, cap, rotor, wires, Cam Sensor, Cat. Converter, transmission (twice!). I still have the same problem.
It starts fine. When I start to drive it the motor just bogs down and is very sluggish. I couldn't even make it up the driveway! Then sometimes it will drive fine. But only for a short time. Then it has no power again. I thought it was a transmission not shifting back down. I changed that twice. I thought it was a weak spark issue.
Any advice would be very appreciated.
Thank you very much for any help.

Have you tested the fuel pressure?
When was the last time you replaced the fuel filter and air filter?
Are you getting any codes?
TPS could be going out?
