Default Car was "choking" goin down the road

Well today I took the car out for it's first major drive in a little bit. It ran fine about 75% of the day. Then leavin autozone I had to get on it a little in first to get into traffic, no biggie. However after that, I was goin down the road and the car would start "choking". As I was going down the road, it would keep tryin to stall out, but the drivetrain would catch and keep it goin. It never gave me a problem at a stop, just goin. From about 40mph-55mph(I didn't go any faster). So me and my mom figured maybe my gas gauge wasn't accurate and maybe I was running low on fuel. So I pulled into the gas station, put a few gallons of 93(I always run it on premium) in it, and went on down the road. At first, it ran great, then it kinda started it again. Anyone know what this could be?[/align]

Clogged fuel filter perhaps?

Partially clogged cat converters??

It's definatelly not the fuel filter. I just changed that out about a few days ago, and I verified it was flowing in the right direction. The cat is a possibility. Like I said it drove just fine before that. Who knows. lol

You are either losing exhaust flow, fuel pressure or ignition.
Usually ignition will be a noticable miss.
Try removing the front 2 O2 sensors (but leave them plugged in) and see if it still does it. It will be a bit noisy, but will gine the exhaust somewhere to escape if there is blockage.
