When my car is in between 0 and 10 vacuum on my boost gauge it starts stuttering kind of. It only does it on slight throttle and normally in the higher gears. If I push the trottle in, it goes away, if I let off it does also. Only between 5- 35% throttle does it do it.
 
No CELs, nothing on it besides stock ECU. I have an SAFC but it's not tuned yet since my wideband is on backorder due to financial reasons. Fairly new TPS.
 
Check your EGR valve. It probably has come loose. Mine would do this as well, we overlooked it and it would die sometimes, and sputter while idling, and I would get around -10 vaccum. It also wont throw a light. Mine was unhooked and no lights were on for me.
 
I'll check tonight. My AFC is not zeroed out however it is only set to -10% at idle not while driving to save a bit of gas and help the idle.
