you have changed the hall sensors in the motor or in the throttle? do you have pictures?
Presuming by "catch" you mean that the motor tries to move but grinds or wiggles back and forth without actually spinning, etc. If that's not what you mean, you need to provide a much more detailed description of your problem, and exactly how it came about, and why you replaced the halls, and every other step you've already done before posting.
Assuming all the halls work, are wired correctly, and the hall wires have continuity to the controller, this usually means either:
--controller has a problem (either cant' read the halls or has blown or otherwise not working phase outputs),
--phase / hall wire order is wrong.
The latter you can test by going thru the procedures either on the wiki about how to determine the order of the wires for phases and halls (see http://endless-sphere.com/w index page, scroll down to article with similar name), or in various threads here on the forums, or on the Grin Tech pages at http://ebikes.ca .
The former you can test by going thru the testing procedures outlined on the Grin Tech pages or in the many troubleshooting threads here on the forums. There may also be a wiki article on that, but I am not sure.
There are thread indexes for useful stuff at the top of each forum, that may help..

Hi friends,
Have a 2014 XPn - all stock - 1700 km
Started having issues that were intermittent (yes, the hardest ones to fix!) and now 'really bad'. First was sometimes I would engage the throttle and nothing happened at all. This was after inserting and turning the key on and was always fixed by just turning the key off and on again. The lights / dash would always alight - but no wheel power until that off / on. Happened infrequently.
Next, I found that with the lights turned on, and under a full charge, when turning up the throttle the power meter would 'dive' into the red as if was like the bike was not charged. When I turned of the light switch (or turned it to the middle position) - it ran as normal (slight defelection of power meter - and registering 50+ Volts - "normal")
Next, without lights, (and this was intermittent) applying throttle would either run normal - OR it would act as before and power would dive down towards red - voltage at maybe 44 V - and a loss of power (always a loss of power under all circumstances when this was happening) and by flicking the light switch through full on and off seemed to fix this (this lasted for about 40km of riding)
Two days ago: I ride it without lights one afternoon - and all ran as should. Always fully charged after even the shortest of rides - but the next day when applying power, caused the needle to dip and the voltage to drop and the bike had limited power. I found that depending upon how much throttle I was applying it would deliver a little more / little less - but turning the light switch through its motions and the key well running caused no 'fix' back to normal. It only got worse - and at one point - and going 'slow' (a medium turn on throttle) the power to the motor actually was cutting in and out (the gauges 'seemed' - and it is only a guess - that there was a large power drain when activating the throttle as the power / voltage would 'bury' when applying - and there was actually fluctuating complete 'off / on' (low) power to the motor when holding the the throttle stationary. Barely made it home. The front and back & turn lights always worked under any condition, and I played with the light switch in al positions / sliding / and the high / lows / as well as messing around with moving the key.
Any ideas my friends?

keyswitch contact problem inside it, most likely. bypass the switch and see what happens.
