If you would call that a "stutter" then yes.

Back-in-the-day ....... a "stutter" would be like a spark plug was fouled...

This is exactly what it makes me think of, except it only does it when the AC is on.

Also, every 3 seconds doesn't sound right. Did you mean to type "30?"
No I did mean 3 seconds. Maybe more like 3-5, but I'm not exagerating. Only when the AC is running on a hot day. If the AC is going at night, or just when it isn't hot, it never "stutters" or what ever you want to call it.

Also, sorry to take so long to get back, had some "technical" problems. With phone/pc/internet. I think it was the storms.
