Default '05 Neon SE runs rough

HELP! My'05 started running rough, it takes 5 seconds of engaging the ignition to start, it surges while stopped, sputters while accelerating and will not go faster than 59 mph. However, after driving approx 7 miles I can pull over, turn it off, and then it will restart normally, accelerate normally, and go faster than 59 mph. If, after doing this, I turn on the fan, it goes back to the first condition.
I have replaced: spark plugs and wires(number 2 was corroded), cam sensor, ignition coil, and finally the crankshaft sensor. After replacing crankshaft sensor, it ran fine for a few weeks, then started again.

Yes, the light is blinking. The code is for the crankshaft position sensor, which was just changed 2 months ago.

A blinking CEL means that there is a major misfire and the car shouldn't be driven. It's weird that it just goes away after "resetting" the car after 7 miles.
