Most cars have a governer, or ignition cut off that keeps you from over reving and blowing the engine. This same little thing also keeps you from going over 115-118 miles per hour for a different reason. (so the police can keep up when they chase you).

What causes an engine to sputter at high RPM?

There can be quite a few causes, depending on what you mean by "high rpm". Sometimes it's "valve float", that's where the valve springs aren't strong enough to return the valves to their closed position once the engine hits high rpm. Sometimes it's a coil that can't cycle quickly enough to provide spark. Sometimes it's low fuel pressure or a partially blocked fuel filter that restricts sufficient fuel from getting to the engine at high RPM. The problems can be caused by fuel, electrical or physical problems, and you need to find out which. Start with a computer diagnostic scan. Better yet, check with the manufacturer and find out where "red line" is. If you're trying to run it past red line, expect it to "sputter".

What causes 1992 Ford F-250 engine sputter above 30 mph?

Hmm, I had a similar problem with my Ranger. It had an untraceable electrical problem, and we sold it for scrap. Symptoms include backfiring, severe loss of RPM before backfiring, dying unexpectedly, just about everything it shouldn't do. How bad is the sputter? Does it sputter, or does it sound like a large dying animal?

Does the engine work harder at low rpm or high rpm?

This will depend on what the "work" is. Example, if the vehicle is in neutral gear, on low rpm idling of course the engine is doing less work. But when the accelerator is pressed to rev up, then the engine is doing more work. Another example, cruising on a flat highway at high speed but engine's rpm is low when at top gear, hence engine is doing average work. But let the vehicle go up an incline and speed goes slow and the engine's rev goes high when on first gear, hence the engine is doing a lot of work.
