Default big problem with my xfire, please help

Alright here's my story, on friday afternoon when i was on my way to work, my cel came on and the car started missing really bad and was running like a john deer, only without as much power....Well I got to work and parked it, When i got off I started it up and the cel was still on but it was running normal again. Saturday morning my buddy came over and pulled the codes and along with 5 missfire codes was the crankshaft position sensor code. So I ordered one up from autozone. Sunday morning I go pick up said part from autozone, and after a few minutes I get the thing in and reconnect the battery, fire it up, idle it, rev it a few times and everything was great no cel and it was fine....Sunday night i go get in the car fire it up and back it out of the garage, take off down the street and it stutters really bad in first, hmm that's odd...I turn onto the main street and it does it again, I get to the stoplight and take off at the green and bang it stutters really bad, the cel comes on, and the car dies out.....wtf!! I coast of to the side of the road and put the go arounds on, and try to restart. It fires right back up and i go to turn around and head back home and it goes about 10 feet and it shutters and dies out again. Restarts right back up, rev alttle and dies.....Always restarts but as soon as its reved past 2k rpms it dies out. Finally managed to limp home, all of 3 blocks, in first gear with it dieing out every 50 feet or so. Pulled back into the driveway and there it sits, i'm out of ideas everything that i read on here said that it sounds like the crankshaft position sensor is bad.......but i just spent 60 bucks and put a brand new one in???? Anybody here have any thoughts? Sorry for the long post i hope i didn't bore anyone to badly....
