hey people I need help. what would cause sputtering,backfires from 1,000rpm to 3,500rpm but then go to normal after 3,500rpm??

could bad valves do this?

timing?

barometric pressure sensor?
 
Perhaps you are running very rich? What are you using for fuel control? Do you have a wideband? (if not then get one)
 
I have a microtech engine management computer. BUt the car was doing fine. this started happening after I reved it up to 6,000rpm yesturday. I tried leaning fuel mix. on lower rpms but this didn't fix the problem.
