shouldn't need to have your foot on the gas to start it. best to reset the computer and run it for a bit again. none of those codes should really effect how it runs

the cats on these things don't usually clog too easily. i would almost be wondering if it was a sensor like the hall effects sensor or the TPS. you could try removing the oxygen sensor and see if you can get it moving faster but i doubt it will

Replaced tps and pickup in distributor.
Cleaned throttle body
Test drive pretty much the same although it had moments I thought it would take off but just reved then choked.
Wouldn’t pull up a slight hill just stoped kept running just chugged up the hill I have run out of ideas
