Anytime you have a misfire and the DME detects the misfire, it will perform a fuel shut of that cylinder to prevent destroying the converters. If you had sputtering that mean the engine is not receiving fuel and the DME will diagnose that as a misfire and begin the process of fuel cutoff. Shutting the engine clear the misfire count and the DME will begin counting the misfire again until it reach the predetermine number for fuel cutoff.
This is one reason why I rent a car when we take a road trip greater then a couple of hundred miles. If the car breaks down, I'll just call the rental agency to tell them where their cars is and ask when they can get me another car.
