Sputter at 4500 - 5000rpm in 4th & 5th Gear
My car sputters a bit under hard acceleration in the 4500 - 5000 rpm range in 4th and 5th gears. After it passes 5000 rpm's, (maybe 5200 or so) it pulls hard and smoothly.
Any idea what could be causing this?

Random ideas/thoughts: Low gas, cracked fuel hose, vaccum leak
Are you sure it is that high of a RPM, I believe thats after the extra ports open .So probably not that .

Also, the car had 3/4s of a tank of gas (premium, obviously) while I was testing this out. I will get the fuel hoses looked at, as well as vacuum lines later today. Any other ideas?
