Check your vehicles o2 sensor. These sensors only work after they have reached full operating temperature. Up until then they operate in open loop mode. To test, try unplugging the sensor and driving around. If the car doesn't spit and stutter after time has passed, you've found your problem. Remember, when you unplug you o2 sensor, the vehicle check engine light should turn on.

When you are accelerating and your vehicle is sputtering, it is usually a misfire in the engine. Meaning one of your spark plugs or wires is malfunctioning. A simple tune up will fix this problem. Sputtering caused by a misfire is usually accompanied by a jerking of the vehicle when Idle. IF you are at a stop sign and you let go of the brakes, your vehicle will start jerking forward on its own without pressing the gas. try a tune up.
