B16A2, CEL 61...need a little input

My car has been choked up under ~3,000 rpm for a while now, but I haven't been able to find the problem. I finally got the CEL on the other day, and it's throwing code 61 (primary O2 sensor).

So my question is pretty simple I guess. Is it possible for a bad O2 sensor itself to cause the car to bog down heavily at low RPM? Or is it more likely that the O2 sensor is still good and detecting a bad mix due to whatever problem is causing the car to bog? I just don't wanna go on a wild goose chase.

Thanks!

if its a bad 02 it wouldn't bog just that your gas would get eaten up really fast has to be something else

Yeah, strangely my mileage has been significantly better since the bogging started.

Unfortunately I don't know a single thing about what a CEL from the primary O2 sensor means.
