It's missing and bucking like it's not getting spark or fuel. Every time I put a CPS in it it fixes it but this time it will be mopar and not autozone.

AutoZone: there is your problem.

Sensors are either Mopar or Suck. Your choice. You chose Autozone, and learned why Autozone sensors (and many other parts) suck the big one.

Yeah I've for sure learned my lesson! But my closest dealership sucks too! Went to pick up my sensor and for the second time they got me the wrong one! They said this time they have ordered the right part and I'm hoping 3rd time is the charm! This is ridiculous! How can I easily get the right part from a parts house and the dealership can't get it right so far even with me showing them the part and giving them all the necessary information?

Find a new dealership, even if you have to talk to them by phone. Or order online.

If they are that bad, why put yourself through the aggravation?

I agree with Turbo. Have you checked it for codes. or at least did a fuel pressure check and make sure that you have a strong blue spark? You need to investigate the problem insted of throwing parts at it.
