CEL and engine choking hesitation on highway

That thread has instructions on how to check if the sensor is good, but it sounded like if it were the culprit, it would be a continuous problem.

The oxygen sensor should be fine.

That makes a lot of sense where dizzy made little sense to me. Sounds like a expensive job. I know one really good mechanic but he probably doesn't know VXs. Should i take it to honda dealer? Thing is no one there will know VX either as this is 22 yr old car. It matters who works on it not place. I mean if some guy at honda works on it that never worked on vx what is that good for. What do you guys think?
