Engine cuts out, restarts after 5-10 minutes

Our 1992 9000 has recently developed a problem where while under heavy load (usually highway driving) the Check Engine Light will come on and the engine will lose power, usually completely stalling. After sitting 5-10 minutes, the car will start again and drive normally. This happens after the car has been running a while (30 minutes or so). DI cartridge has been replaced, fuel pump is functioning properly, new plugs, fuel filter, air filter. There is, however, a small hole in the exhaust within 3 inches of the oxygen sensor (this is being repaired on Friday). How likely is the problem being caused by improper readings by the O2 sensor? What is the average life of the O2 sensor (the car has 169,000 miles)? What are the next most likely culprits? Thanks.
