My car runs better now, but when I give it gas from idle, the car stalls for a split second, then rev's like normal. I know my throttle body shaft seals are leaking, because I can hear it when I leak test. Is my car stalling like this because of the seal?
 
If you could get a video of the stutter that would help.

How are your plugs and wires?

Stutter can be a result of a lot of stuff. I know you just got the car, but start with the basics. Do a compression test and then do a boost leak test. Then verify your base ignition timing. Feel free to PM me if you need anything bro :thumb:
