i have a 1991 525i, i do all the maintenance myself and even some of the more complicated stuff. i have run into a problem that so far i have yet to find a way to fix. the car runs good till i get to about 2500 rpm then it spits, sputters and acts like it is running on 4 cylinders. does anyone have any ideals?

I checked and replaced a ICV hose and took off and closely inspected the other vac hoses. No change. I have also changed spark plugs, coils, injectors, o2 sensor and fuel filter. I did a fuel pressure test and at idle i had 41psi. I also swapped out the check control and DME without any changes. Oh i failed to mention that the car runs great till it's been at operating temp for about 20 mins then it starts acting like it does.
