I wouldn't start with this one, but if none of the other repairs fix the issue, it may be the oil control valve. Mine gave me code P16CF, and I replaced the control valve with an off brand from Amazon. It never threw a code after that, but after a few months it would hesitate on acceleration like you described. I installed a Dorman valve and haven't had an issue since then.
