Icon6 Hesitation/sputter when car needs power

Hey, I have a b18c JDM integra type r motor in a 96 cx hatch. Car runs okay but when the rpm get low or when it needs to go uphill, basically when it needs power, it does this odd hesitation problem, almost like its bad gas or clogged injectors. Just thought I'd ask before I start ripping anything apart on my car. Curious if this has happened to anyone or if it sounds like a common problem? Oh, also it usually does it around 2000 to 3000 rpms then after it passes ~3200 its fine and runs normal.

No cat on the car, will get some new ngk plugs soon and fuel cleaner, and also only code is the 1st o2 sensor which I think, correct me if I'm wrong, would be the upstream sensor

My secondary o2 sensor was out of the bung and it did the same thing to me..Screwed it in and that fixed it.
