check the cam position sensor. its on the back of the engine behind the intake manifold and next to the oil sending unit. 99% sure thats your problem. leave that unplugged and your rpm will just sit on the dash no matter how hard you get on it.

i drove it for 2 days since it was my forced daily driver at the time. i didnt notice any driveability issues or even codes. i was expecting to see a code since i believe there is one for that sensor. anyways, my trans worked the same exact way it did when i plugged it back. glad to help out a fellow texan!
