Hard starting some mornings sounds like a symptom of a gummy AIC unit. It is a strange electro-mechanical air metering valve (on my 900S 16V anyway) that is bolted to the thermostat cover. It fills with black goo and needs to be cleaned out from time to time. After cleaning, it should be oiled so the rotating shutter valve can open and close easily. (I used some synthetic gun oil on mine... good to -40C, or so it says on the label.)
The stuttering at full throttle may be a vacuum leak. You find these the old fashioned way, or out of exasperation you just change all your vacuum hoses to new ones that grip their nipples more tightly.
Good luck,
Scott
