stuck on 3500 rpm and misfire

Hello everyone I searched all the forum for the problem I have in my car but I couldn't find anything.
The problem is this when I turn the car on it is in its perfect condition but after it worms up for like 15 minute the car start idling rough and it goes to 1500 rpm on idle when I drive when it is cold it drives like a champ but I doesn't pass 3500 rpm when it worms up it drive like it has no power at all low rpm it back fires crazy
I read at the forum one of those happen to people but I didn't do tune UPS for the car. I don't want to do it till here from you all brothers

Sounds like the catalytic converter may be clogged. Do you have access to a vacuum gauge?

+1 on the clogged cat theory. Very common.

No I don't have access to the vacume gauge that's sound good when I drive the car when it is hot I have to jeep it more on 2k rpm so the car won't jerk it bounces all over
