Default stuttering when cold? not me...the S - any suggestions?

I always let the idle drop before taking off - and never WOT until oil temp is up - but for two days in a row the car stutters when taking off. Any suggestions?

Default Man, I *totally* thought you were talking about yourself.

Try and be a tad more detailed. It stutters when you start out driving, before it's warm, or what?

Default I have the same problem! I STFA & the conclusion was it's normal. Still don't like it thou!

The only sugeestion was to do a Throttle Body Alignment (TBA). More or less turn the key to the ON postions (don't start the car) and wait 3 minutes for the throttle to adjust. Done!

But That didn't help me.

I'm now going to check the Spark Plugs & 710n DV's (or BPV's) they seem to stick or something or just replace again.

I've VAG-it & I don't get a single code. Would I not get a code if a coil was bad?
