Default 97 850 struggling rarely

Every once in a blue moon, when I accelerate my car hesitates for a split second and then everything is fine. I have a ****ty air hose, so I was thinking that would be it. Could it? The only other thing I can think of is the O2 sensor. As a matter a fact, I need a new one anyway. Is there a place where I can find this part cheap? Sorry for all these posts, I'm just trying to fix my car because I love it!

You can get the sensors from here
Clean the hose and see if it helps.
If not then try cleaning the throttle body.
When was the last tune up (spark plugs/ wire, dist. car/rotor, new air filter..ect)?

Last tune up was probably a month ago. Recent.

Fix the hose first. As for the tune up, did it include a new air and fuel filter? Also if you get a new O2 sensor, get an OEM one. Aftermarket ones have been notorious for causing issues.
