    LOL at the thread title. I think it says it all right there :D

    Maybe your coil packs, first thing that popped in to my head was the vacuum line to the fuel regulator. I'd check all the simple things first before the sky starts falling.

    sounds like a fuel issue to me being a stutter, very hard to say from here :p

    Be careful doing that though, you might spin the balancer and bolt out the end of the crank.

    lol.
