I have been driving my car like this for a while and it does ok for the most part because I've learned to live with it.

So while cruising if I ever need to put my foot into the gas enough to merge the car will get a bogged down feeling and wont' downshift easily. After this occurs the car will cruise at highway speeds and sputter (surge might be a better word for it). The only way to stop this is to cut the engine and restart it. Sometimes I get an OBD1 O2 sensor code but I have swapped O2 sensors before and this did not fix it.

 

what car/engine year and mods ? sounds like your tps isn't to spec. but the o2 not working could also do it.

 

Check for clogged fuel filter and/pump. Did you check your plug gaps?

 

It's the car in the sig. It's got an obd1 Integra computer P75 A51 and matching TCM with an Integra LS automatic transmission and a B20B JDM engine. It's somewhat reassuring you mention the TPS isn't in spec because I've suspected it but it's not coming off easily and it does check out ok with a basic voltage check but I suspect it may be out of spec like you mentioned.

I'm on my 3rd different O2 sensor,

 

I've changed plugs and I believe I gapped the plugs to specs. It may be something I check again though.
