Have you read the CEL code? Once you get the code you could find out what's wrong. :dunno:

Something is setting your ECU into limp mode. That is why you cannot rev past 4K. Read the code for the CEL to find out what is wrong. Auto ZOne, Pep Boys, any local mechanic should be able to do it for you.

VTEC doesn't engage when the CEL is on... or in my case, anytime at all
