one steps are fine. Go to autozone and get some MAF cleaner and throttle body cleaner. Clean those two and see if the problem persists. If it does, move on to replacing plug wires. Also, when it starts sputtering like that, get to an autozone or advanced and have them see if ur throwing any codes that aren't causing ur engine light to come on.

Btw...have you even pulled ur plugs to see if they're fouled out or are you just guessing that's what it is because of the way the car is acting?

If it's just sometimes, that doesn't sound like fouling out plugs to me. That sounds more like a coil giving out or a bad wire. My fiance's SRT would do silly **** like that....sometimes it would run like a monster and other times it would misfire and drive like crap. Turned out to be a bad wire....
