Hello Anthony, Nice to meet you!
I am sorry to hear about the issue you are having with your Sentra. I will do my best to help you with this.
Do you have a Check Engine light or any warning lights on when the engine is running?

No I don't have a warning light on engine light

Thank you. So if the Rpm's start to surge up and down as soon as you put it into gear, that may require an Idle Relearn. If you find that the vehicle will not accelerate properly, then you may have a Mass Air Flow sensor issue.

it could be an idol relay sensor or a air flow sensor issue you think

No such thing as a Idle Relay. It would be either a computer calibration issue, electronic throttle chamber or an Mass Air Flow Sensor. It should be properly checked in person to verify. When it comes to electrical parts, you want to stick with the dealer. Aftermarket electrical parts are known not to work properly

you think it's one of those because it runs great in neutral and park but when I put it in gear it doesn't rev up it stays between 1500 and 2000 RPM going up and down and I don't feel the transmission engage in any gear

If the transmission does not feel like it's engaging, then you could have a transmission issue. This would need to be determined by performing multiple tests. This is best checked by a transmission shop or dealer.
That is of course if there is an engagement issue
