How do you know its misfiring, are you getting a blinking CEL?

maybe misfire was a bad term. More like a spit and sputtering. I have no CEL or any type of light on either. I take off from a dead stop and it sputters till it hits like 1500-2000 rpms.

Check for vacuum leaks. I had a similar problem a while back. Found a small vacuum line right in the front of the TB. It was all dried up and had a crack in it. Replaced it and all is fine now.
