Default help please

my car has started a weird backfire/popping only between 4 and 5 on the tack,i did find a vacuum line that was off,so i put it back on,and something tripped the check engine light,the egr line was never off or moved,so thats ok,but i did some switching on the lines and now the car is better,and the light doesn't come on now,but the weird quick throttle high rev backfire/popping is still happening,but only between 4 and 5 on the tach,and only under super fast throttle.....anyone had a similar experience?something to check maybe? 94 cobra ...long tube headers,no cats,no smog,bbk cold air,flow masters,off road h pipe,3:73's,pro 5.0 shifter,180 t stat....thats all ,for now.....b cam and suspension in the next couple of months

Does it happen when it's warm? or only cold? Also check timing?
