I have a 2000 Chrysler Town and Country with 138k miles. I am the second owner, so I don't have repair records prior to 130k miles. The vehicle has begun stuttering while driving, but idles smoothly. The only work I have done on the vehicle is replace front brake pads and change the oil. Any idea what may be causing this stutter? Thanks!

Could be caused by one of the following below

Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Crankshaft position sensor
Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
Cap and rotor.

Note:If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing.
