Default Engine cannot rev pass 4000 rpms?

Hey guys..

I have a 1994 Acura Integra Gsr....Can't seem to figure out the problem.

The car starts/idles normal....but cannot rev pass 4000 rpms.

Makes a disctinct gagging noise...so it doesn't reach to 4000 rpms smoothly..more like lagging power.

What can be wrong?

low on oil would be the easiest solution...

sounds like you are going into limp mode. mine did that went when my dizzy went out. there are a ton of possible causes though

when i first got my gsr this i think was my first problem when it was low on oil it would not go in v-tech, not past 4000rpm! i didnt have it toped off all the time so when it got to low no v-tech just do an oil change or put some oil in and reset the ecu it could fix the problem.

When you rev the engine is there very much exhaust coming out the muffler? If not, check your catalytic converter, it could be backed up with carbon.
