If it ran beautiful I don't see why you installed CPS. ??? 

The CPS and CAS should only be replaced if the car is stalling or shorting out. I just changed the CAS on my 95 Talon but only because it was cutting off like I turned the key off. 

If the only thing you did was change the CPS then it's not lined up right. Every car is different but the CPS usually has to be aligned.

2003 nissan altima 2.5s transmission rough shift
Probably sensors! I have already replaced the crankshaft positioning sensor once, nissan replaced it once under recall and now it is bad again! Plus my speed sensor is bad too! Go to any part store and get diagnostic test ran, it will tell what sensors are bad.
