Alright man....lets get this straight first.

You turn the key to "start" and the engine starts up and runs........but as its running its stuttering????? Then the starter is fine, it did its job in starting the engine.

Usually a starter will simply die, end of story. OR...it can lag *** and struggle to start the engine.

Sounds like you may have a bad battery or about 10 other different things that can make an engine stutter after its started and running.
