Car shows check engine light I had it checked and it shows only oxyegen sensor problem.I have not seen an oxyegen sensor cause this kind of problem.I am thinking throttle position sensor.what are your thoughts on this. Also once the car warms up the idle will smooth out. Thank you for time.

Try cleaning out the idle air control valve and test the TPS and MAF sensor-could also be the O2 sensor sluggish
