A misfire will cause the shuttering feeling you are getting. More than likely you have a bad ignition coil on cylinder #2, but if you have more than one misfire code, it's possible there is an issue with a vacuum leak. Generally though, if the engine starts fine and runs well for a while, it's a coil failing when it gets heated up.
If you can list the codes, I can provide a more detailed answer for you.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
