could be a few different things, mine has a slight stutter and turned out to be the plugs. Best bet get it looked at by a specialist who can try a few different things. Its one of those things you could chase round the engine bay

SimTek has no reset facility Martin as it has no self learning facility.
I would get the plugs out and check you haven't melted a tip.
