Default 90 Accord no acceleration?

occasionally when I am driving the car seems to not accelerate...usually i take my foot of the fas and then press it again and it fixes the problem but I am a bit worried about why it does that..any suggestions or ideas on what can cause that? ive been told it can possibly be the oxygen sensor but I am not so sure

Gas, I like Chevron, it has the techron injector cleaner in the gas, and injector cleaner has gone thru the roof recently, and they usually run about the same price per gallon as the other gas station on the other corner.
