I don't know about sputtering, but when i was trying to teach my fiancee to drive a stick last weekend sometimes I'd have to turn the ignition all the way off and then back on.
Probably something to do with the fuel pump/lines if I had to guess..? Mine didn't stutter, but either way you'd be priming the system..

Yeah... it's all to do with the fuel pump... if you turn the key all the way to off it'll refire the fuel pump when you start it up. Otherwise it takes a min to crank.
