Can you provide more details? i don't understand this "when I accelerated as the third time the car starts to fail and start to sound like an STI"? do you mean in 3rd gear?

I'd Get the CEL's taken care of first and see if it goes away. Also do a compression test, its easier than changing the CAS and could be the problem too. But since you said you have the CEL for the crank and cam sensor i'd assume thats what it is.

I do have an extra Crank Angle Sensor if you need to buy one, PM me if you want to buy one

Just because spark plugs are new doesn't mean they are good, that could always be causing your problem. Pull all the plugs out and look if they have oil on the end of them (the side that sparks). If not, put your old plugs in and see if it weakens or makes it worse.

Did you gap the plugs? Or buy pregapped plugs and put them in--but didn't check? Start rt there.
