once the car is warmed up after driving it for about 20 to 30 mins it is slow to accelerate when i get the rpms above 1500 it spits and kinda hesitates almost and sometimes even backfires on me

hmm, well it sounds to me like its a spark/electical problem. If im right your probably running rich. If it were my car i would probably do a tune up, plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Are you sure its not throwing any codes?

Investing in a shop manual is a good decision. I've used mine many, many times for all manner of problems and/or questions.
