I just had the 02 sensor die on my car, after 166,000 miles.  Yup, it was the 
original one.
These are the symptoms it gave me as it was going bad:
- hesitation on acceleration.
- press the gas, nothing happens, then it suddenly takes off.
- When letting off the gas, the idle jumps to about 2000, stays there for a 
couple of seconds, then finally goes back down.
- Car idles at 1100 instead of 900rpms.
- Poor throttle response.
- Slightly rough idle.

There you go.  When the car started acting up, I knew it was the 02 sensor.  
The check engine light came on, I pulled the code, and my assumption was 
correct.
