96 Prizm with occasional engine stutter

I have a 1996 Prizm, and fairly rarely, in some stop-and-go situations, the engine will stutter somewhat hard after I move forward and then stop. This seems to happen more when the air conditioner is on. What might that mean?

A few months ago, the check engine light came on. I got an OBD2 error code (P0401) saying there was an EGR issue. To see if it was really an issue, I cleared the code to see if it would come back, but the check engine light hasn't come back on since. Could that be related to the engine stutter?
