Strange engine problem, need help

Ocassionaly, right after I start to run my car it behaves strangely.

So i'll turn it on and drive it for like 10 seconds when it suddely starts to shutter and jolt. Then it dies. After that it takes a few tries to restart and then if I shift it into Drive or Reverse it dies instantly. So I have to turn it on and let it idle for a few minutes before I can drive it without it stalling. Then it runs a little crappy but after a little time it runs fine. It only does this ocassionaly and it's only started doing it since I installed ECUTune Stage 1. Any ideas?

THanks!
