Can you be a bit more specific? Warm, cold, anytime? First things, pull codes and do a full tune up with fuel filter. I had an '89 the would stutter when accelerating and it had badly worn plugs and another time it would do something similar when at operating temp and it was the coil. Another time I had gotten bad gas with water in it so I dumped some HEAT in and that fixed it. If it started right after filling up at a cheap gas station that might be it.

If it's not solved by the tune up hopefully the computer codes will tell you if a sensor is bad. There's a good chance it's a simple cheap fix.

It doesn't do it all the time, I guess that's the weird thing, I drove it this morning around town for about 20min n it didn't stutter at all

Well try and see when it does it and under what conditions. The more specific the easier it will be to diagnose.
