in light of the fact you've had the heads off and the gaskets replaced...an intake leak is very likely.
I had assumed that no previous work had been done.
the back fire sputtering happens on roll on the hickuping happens when youre and higher speeds i figured its a leak but i wanted some opinions before diving into it and it has had work done before but it was not that great of work i had to correct a lot of mistakes
I had this problem before. It was the wires that go to the coil. Not the sprak plug wires but the little elctrical wires that go to the coil. The "L" shaped end of the wire wasn't seating on the terminal correctly. The connection was too loose.It would slide around on the terminal. I jst recrimped it and it fixed the problem
