Sounds like the distributor is causing problems. The distributors are known to have bearing wear problems, so even if the cap is recently changed, you might need a whole new distributor. At the very least, it sounds like a tune-up may be needed: new spark plugs, wires, and distributor cap. Also, if you have the V-6, the timing belt needs to be changed every 105,000 miles. a timing belt with stripped teeth could be causing your issues, and if the teeth are stripped it probably won't be long before the belt lets go and you completely ruin the engine. It's an interference engine, so without proper timing, the pistons can make physical contact with open valves, causing bent valves or connecting rods. At that point it is cheaper to replace the whole engine rather than tear it apart and rebuild it.

O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 1 should actually be read as: O2 sensor, bank 1, sensor 1. Meaning the first oxygen sensor (O2 sensor #1) on cylinder bank #1 (it's a Honda inline 4 -cylinder engine, so it only has one bank of cylinders; a V6 or V8 engine would have tow banks arranged in a V shape) needs to be replaced. The oxygen sensor will be threaded into the exhaust near where the manifold (or possibly threaded in at the manifold itself) with some wires coming out of it. In the photo, the O2 sensor is labelled as the air/fuel ratio sensor.

There should be a switch activated by the brake pedal, see if it is stuck on some way.

it should be in the fuse boss bar in the engine bay

CHECK INSIDE THE TRUCK QUARTER PANEL FROM INSIDE THE TRUCK BED AT BACK OF THE LIGHT COVERS. MY IS A 2000 FRONTIER AND I HAD TO REMOVE BEDLINER TO GET TO THE SCREWS. NOT A VERY BIG OPENING ON THE BACK OF THE LIGHTS.

Have you changed out the thermostat?

you may have a cracked cylinder head or your ignition timing may be off, Also check for drive train bind up (brakes,bearings,transmission)

I believe you will have to pull the oil pan if you can not remove it because its tight undo engine mounts on engine and tranny hook up a pulley to the engine like you were going to take the engine out and pull up on it just enough to allow engine to rise ever so slightly .
