    x2 on the engine mounts, I had the same issue a few weeks ago, swapped my wires and plugs and most of the stutter went away but I still had some. Checked my mounts and they disintegrated when I touched them! Replaced them and no more problem!

    I probably will go with some Poly mounts but I felt the need to get some mounts on their asap so OEM I could get immediately.

    There are 4 of them on our cars....the 2 on top, the one that is located on the inner side of the drivers side inner fender flap, and the one that is pretty much located under the harmonic balancer on the passenger side. All of them are relatively less than difficult to change.

    Good luck

    I would recommend it. From what you have described, motor mounts are the common problem. They come with a lifetime warranty from Auto Zone.
