Ok, I have a 98 sh with an act xact flywheel and act ss clutch/ pressure plate. If i'm pushing it and i get the tach up to 6500 in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd (i have not tried it in 4th or 5th) the rev limiter kicks in and wont let me past 6500. I talked to a couple local shops they have no clue and the honda dealer wants $95 an hour to figure it out so i'm tring to avoid that. Has anyone had this problam?

Thanks

Are you throwing a CEL? A lowered rev limit means that the ECU's running in safe mode.

make shure your oil is full .....you have no vtec

was your car warmed up to operating tamp. is your vtec water temp sensor working? do you have oil pressure . is your vtec solonoid operating vtec.

Is your car cold when you ran it? check the temp gauges, cuz when its cold it wont let you go past 6500.

Any CEl's? here is what a honda motor needs to engage VTEC
1. 160C temp
2. Speed
3. VTEC
4. oil pressure
5. RPM

Most CELs bump it into limp mode, which means no VTEC, 6500rpm rev limit.

well the car is definitly warmed up. and i definitly have oil it is full all the way up to the the top line and i have checked it like 5 times over the last couple days because thats what everyone says but i definitly have oil. and it seems like the vtec is kicking in but half way threw it cuts out How do i go about checking to see if i am throwing a CEL ?

a check engine light would pop up on ur dashboard *slaps head*

if you have no engine light at all i would check the vtec solenoid itself.
