Here's the crux of the problem, something is plugged up somewhere and is keeping your catalyst from performing properly. I suspect that the exhaust manifold may be leaking big time and because it is, the pressure flow to the cat isn't what it should be. It's possible that a piece has been blown out of the head gasket and your engine is performing poorly. In fact, I would suggest that you run this down as it seems the most likely cause.

Because your car is hesitating and rattling when you are accelerating I suspect that the engine's pressure levels are all over the place due to the head gasket.

If you have the tools available, you can check it out yourself, but given the complexity of the Amanti's engine, I would suggest leaving it to a trained technician.

SOURCE: engine rattles at acceleration and hesitates

This sounds like your ignition timing is awry. You'll need a timing light to verify if this is correct. If that's OK the your valve clearances may be a little loose.

SOURCE: 1986 chevrolet silverado truck engine hesitates when accelarating

Along with the vacuume leaks I would check the carb. The accelerator pump might be out of adjustment or something else in the carb. Currently I have the same problem with mine and I just adjusted it and for 1 day so far it's ran fine but I have a holley on mine. Carb may be dirty also.

Depends on where you live in the country.  In TN where I live most people just use 10W30 all year, but if you live in a colder area you would use 10W30 in the summer and 5W30 in the winter.  Hope this helps.  Thanks for an honest rating.

2004 Toyota RAV4 hesitant acceleration at low revs.

All the things you mention at the end would cause codes on a scan tool so it is unlikely to be those.

A high end $5 grand scan tool computer should diagnose the acceleration issue, but they can't diagnose bearing or gears that are worn.

You could try cleaning the Throttle Body and MAF.

What is TSB 7/2006

TSB 7/2006
Subject/Concern: Hesitations; Poor or no start; Deteriorated fuel economy; Diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) P1412, P0490 and P1335 stored
Model: Focus C-MAX 2003.75 (06/2003?¿½) Build Date: 14.02.2004-01.03.2006
Build Code: 4R-6S
Assembly Plant: Saarlouis
Engine: 2.0L Duratorq-TDCi (DW) Diesel
Focus 2004.75 (07/2004?¿½) Build Date: Up to 01.03.2006
Build Code: Up to 6S
Assembly Plant: Saarlouis
Assembly Plant: Valencia
Engine: 2.0L Duratorq-TDCi (DW) Diesel
Markets: All
Section: 303-08
Summary


Should a customer express concern about one of the following:


* hesitations,
* poor or no start,
* deteriorated fuel economy,
and upon investigation diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) P1412, P0490 and P1335 are stored in the powertrain control module (PCM), the probable cause is a sticky exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve.


To rectify this concern, a new EGR valve with a stronger EGR valve motor and revised PCM calibration should be installed.

Sounds like misfire... Did the 'Check Engine' Light come ON? Whenever the 'CHECK ENGINE' light comes on, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). These codes identify the particular engine management system which caused the light to come on.
You'll need to use/find an OBDII (On-Board Diagnostic) Scanner to retrieve any code which have been stored in the ECU computer. Afterward, we might be able to help you DIAGNOSE and perhaps eventually fix the problem.

2004 dodge caravan 2.4 Hesitates during Acceleration and at idele

You should definitely replace the fuel filter though this probably won't fix your hesitation. It wouldn't hurt to replace the spark plugs this is usually the culprit on these engine. I have the same engine in a '99 caravan and found the for some reason the spark plugs on cylinder 3 and 4 loosen up after one year and cause a misfire between 45 and 50 mph under load (when mildly accelerating).
