TPS or MAP. Your fuel pressure is probably fine. Check the pressure and check for spark first though (it's cheap). O2 sensors don't cause those symptoms.

So an update today, I opened up my airbox today in the light and see that the filter is full of oil, so i flipped it around for now, and it seems to be running great, but then again havent stressed her either.

(it also didn't want to get going when I would step on the gas on the freeway) probably on of the cheapest fixes suggested so far.
I have been told (In high school by my Auto Teacher) That it sould be changed 1-2 times a year.
