Default Del Sol will not rev over 4,000 RPMs

So i'm definately starting to hate this car... Every time i fix an issue that it has... something else comes up. What are some possible reasons why it wont rev over 4,000 now? No it isnt only when it is sitting in neutral... the rpms just dont come above 4k. I've done some searching around and i've read it may be a vtec/ecu problem. Has anyone had this issue and fixed it? Please I want this pile of doo doo to stop giving me new problems every five seconds It is a 97 Del Sol Si with the D16Z6 SOHC Vtec motor.

How is it running? Is it studdering to get to 4k, or does it go up to 4k normally but just doesn't pass 4k?

Yeah the speedo is working properly and it runs great. the rpms climb normally to 4k then the rev limiter catches. I have 3 codes. an O2 sensor that i have to replace the crank position sensor and the evap emission is registering high. Can any of those be a cause? I was thinking maybe the crank sensor...

I think the crank sensor will put you in limp mode until you fix it.

This is why I hate buying used cars - you inherit all the problems the previous owner(s) laziness caused.

Fix the causes of your CEL and you should be good. Unless something else pops up - fingers crossed.
