Engine loses power

Hi guys, I recently (today) changed my O2 sensor, because of the code. However now the car temporarly loses power. The engine does not die or stall but I can presss the gas pedal and nothing happens. The problem doesn't last more than a second (or a few seconds) but it happens. I'm not sure if the fuel filter is original or not. But it seems odd that this would just start happening after the O2 sensor was changed. Any ideas on what could possibly be causing this to occur? Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

You will have to get a fault code read out to see what may be going on, i feel it is going into limp home mode, this is is a set of paramaters set by the computer to over ride some fault codes so you can get back to a work shop for repairs, don't push it past this point to many times as further damage may occure.
