Rough idle with shaky engine and rpm's at 1,500-2,000. ECM light is on. Car won’t accelerate past 20-30 mph and gets there very slowly. Engine diagnostic came back with p0456 and p0457 which shouldn’t be causing this issue. I changed the spark plugs and put gas cleaner through the tank. Pushing the accelerator to the ground does not increase rpm’s unless in park.

Hello,

It sounds like the throttle bore has lost correlation with the PCM due to coking which will cause the car to be in limp mode.here is a guide to help fix it:
