Default catalyst efficiency below threshold....

is the code i am getting. my question is, could this be causeing my car not to accelerate when it is cold? alot of times i can put the pedal to the floor and have no change in rpm or speed. the car just slowly comes to a stop. after a few seconds it kicks back in and runs fine the rest of the day. its beginning to be a dangerous daily routine. any ideas?

the code means that your cat is falling apart inside and it is not making your car run efficiently u need to change it for a new one that is the only way of getting ride of the code sorry to say cause they are not cheap, or not 100% sure but u may be able to get a test pipe and loose the code for sure it u get a new cat the code will be gone
