I just bought a 96 GSR with 55k miles. I have never owned a Acura, let alone one with VTEC but it seems that I hit the rev limiter very soon after hearing/feeling VTEC and I dont know why. Is there something I can do to remedy this?

The tach is broken but it just feels like the limiter is too low.... I feel a strong tug and then smack right into it. Still managed to whip a 2003 Celica GT-S tho haha
