      Pretty vague explanation of your problem. Under what condition does the "choking" occur? Under acceleration, cruising, wide open throttle?

      You can easily test the O2 sensor and it's plug with a volt meter if you think that's the problem.

            It's not the exhaust, and you give a terrible explanation of what is wrong.

                is it bogging out slowly or an abrupt cut in power?

                  OK U need do stuff 2 fix it

                  That is what i get, when I read what you have written. Have you not completed primary education? It is hard for me to take you seriously when you write things like your previous statement. A detailed explanation of what happens, with correct spelling and punctuation, would help anyone reading your thread, help you.

                  About how long into your "cruising" does this happen?
