Default Should I be worried?

So i went to Wegmans last night and decided to take the Camaro. I let her warm up a few minutes, I pull out of the driveway and pull up to the stop sign. As i start to go the motor started to lightly spudder for a few seconds and once i start driving its fine. It also happened this morning also. Does anybody have any thoughts? The throttle body and MAF are clean, i do have about 1/4 tank of gas left in the tank.

Not really enough to go on here.

Do you have a scanner?

It would be helpful to check for pending codes, and get live O2, fuel trim and misfire data when the issue is happening.

It only does a light shudder for a few seconds then its fine. I did put in Gumout 4 in1 fuel system cleaner before the last fuel fill.
