Re: 97 ek civic wont rev past 4500
why would the wires be swapped? Do you have a check engine light on for anything? What injectors are you using? What ECU? Are you using a distributor adapter and ECU adapter? If everything was working fine in your DA its probably a wiring issue of some sort.

Re: 97 ek civic wont rev past 4500
it seriously sounds like the wiring in the tps sensor ... i have a eg civic and when i swapped the jdm gsr in it i had alll kinds of problems with the tps sensor ... it would rev slow passsed 4500 but wide open it wouldnt it ... i would try and demount the tps sensor and remount it and calibrate it and make sure that your wiring to it is correct ...
