Does this sound right???

My chevrolet will sputters & lose power occasionally going uphill. I've been told to change the fuel filters & gmc oxygen sensor. Does this sound right? and how hard is it to change? Thanks for helping!

What year and model is it, how many miles and what engine? Any warning lights on? If it's occasionally I wouldn't think it would be either of those things unless the O2 sensor is starting to go out.

ooops sorry my bad. It is a 2001 Impala. It is currently at a nearby mechanic and it seems like the sensor is indeed one of the major culprit. Thanks dude

Hopefully It'll be ok by tomorrow

The oxygen sensors are almost a maintainance item from my experience. The car probably just needs a tune-up. How many miles are on it?

cap and rotor, and change plugs and wires.

my dads truck had the same problem, 210,000 on the stock cap and rotor and plugs and wires. i replaced them and it drives like a brand new truck
