Car acting funny

I recently installed a new o2 sensor on my car because the old one was causing the car to jerk. Now that i have the new one on, it's doing something similar. The car feels like it may have lost a little of it's low end power and just doesnt feel as torquey, but when it reaces 3800 or so, it's like it regained all it's torque back and then some. Same with the hp, doesnt come in till late but feels stronger once it comes in (5800 rpm ish). Before I installed the o2 sensor these symptoms werent as bad. I also recently replaced a bad TPS sensor and havent had time to check to make sure it's correctly adjusted. My q is, do you think it will hurt the car to drive it like this, or is it ok until i can get the TPS set correctly? Thanks

O2 sensor is not even used at WOT. So that rules out that being the issue.

And you can't mount a new TPS without adjusting it to the throttle body.

You need to set your TPS ASAP.
