Car stuttering when accelerating.

The car has always ran smoothly but over the last month has started to 'stuttter' when accelerating between gear changes, only seems to be happening in 3rd-6th gear.
It started off with one or two 'jumps', then stopped as the engine warmed but has recently become a lot worse, with several jumps during acceleration and not clearing when the engine is warm.
I have recently filled the tank and used redex, in the hope of it being dirty fuel but it only seems to be getting worse.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Colin.

check all breather and vac pipes on engine for condition and leaks check intercooler pipes for poor fit and splits if ok check crank angle sensor and as already been advised check plugs and coil pack
