my 2004 aztec loses power when I accelerate especially going up a hill. My engine light comes on and it seems to be choking or hesitating. This usually happens at 50 mph or over

It is most likely a clogged catylatic converter. However, since the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned to determine the exact reason. Most nationally recognized parts stores will do it for free.

Let me know what you find.
