2 Engine Stutters in 1 day! It's a sign of . . . . . ?

The first time the engine stuttered on my 2002 7.3 was this morning on the highway. I eased off of the pedal (my cruise is broken) as I started down a grade. The engine stuttered and then acted as if nothing happened.

The second time it happened was when I was working the throttle and clutch to start from a stop in first gear. It stuttered, I let off, it resumed operation, and I went at it again successfully.

I installed a DP Tuner 6 position chip about 3 weeks ago, and was in the 80 Econo setting at the time. A recent scan has shown that my clutch switch is defective, which is why my cruise control doesn't work.

I would say CPS. Happened almost exactly like that to me a few weeks ago. I changed it and have noticed a rather dramatic improvement in how it runs. I really wasn't expecting it to change the quietness and smoothness of the engine, but it sure seems to have done just that.
