I think i know why my car isn't working properly.
Not changing a faulty oxy sensor for a year would do it wouldn't it? I think it is the one before the catalaytic converter that needs to be replaced. I guess that why there isn't much power when i floor it. I just changed the fuel filter last night and it is doing the same thing. Can anyone tell me if oxy sensors are hard to replace or if i need the stealership to do it?

Very easy to change if they are not too hard to reach. You will need a special socket that has a cutout for the wire. If they are tight, spray some liquid wrench on the threads and wait 30 minutes.
