Default Engine stutter

Recently my engine has started to stutter if I rev it quickly in neutral. It also idles rough. I am guessing something involving fuel or ignition. I run seafoam through the fuel every few months and did just a few days ago. Cap, rotor, and plugs were replaced a few months ago.

No CEL. That is an idea though, considering its also burning more gas than usual.
