stuttering? help please!

Hey there.
I'm Terrence. I own a 1987 Mazda Rx7 turbo. Recently it has been responding to throttle activity oddly. when you are steady on the throttle it will kind of sputter or give out for a second or two then kick back in. I drove to school today which is about a 5 minute drive and it did it at least five times so it is obviously a problem. I am not flooring it or anything, just applying regular throttle, usually around 2000-3000 RPM. Once the car is 100% warmed up it cuts down almost none of this which confuses me even more. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

You can pull codes: http://www.teamfc3s.org/info/article...odes/main.html. Checking for vacuum leaks would be a good idea as well.
