Default bad fuel filter or pump?

The car starts fine but after a few miles of driving, the car hesitates and then it jerks around and stalls. I try to crank it back and it stalls right away, sometimes I can go for a little bit but at this point I have loss all power. If I wait for a few minutes I can go again, and after another few minutes of driving it happens again. Has anyone experienced something similar? I just recently replaced my cat and O2 sensors... any suggestions?

Did you replace the cat with an OEM one? A loose upstream O2 sensor could be problematic if it is leaking exhaust... what problems were you having before you replaced all of that?

I was experiencing same problems. I just found out that it dosn't have a fuel filter. I read somewhere that it could possibly be a bad fuel pump relay.

Actually, yes you do have a fuel filter, mounted on the back of the tank above the regulator.
