Truck quit?

Hey guy's, I have a 1994 F150 i6, and was driving home from work yesterday when my check engine light came on. Then all of the sudden it started missing a bit, as i got through an intersection it started to bog down and could barley keep running , then eventually quit. I can still start it now but it does the same thing as if its choking out then it catches itself, then chokes again. (almost sounds like a lope tune)
The time from when the check engine light came on to it quitting was about 10 seconds. I was thinking its a sensor of some kind, possibly an O2 senor? Any help appreciated thanks

If you suspect of any sensor, check the codes, they will point out any failures.
