ej1 won't go past 4k rpms, but does once warmed up?
Weird, it starts fine, I drive and once it hits 3-4k it splutters and won't go pass 4k, so I just shift before 3k. Once it warms up though it revs all the way up. Any ideas? D16z6 95 civic

I had another FITV from another z6 I had that was in better condition so I cleaned it and swaped it, no difference, still splutters around 3500k and won't go past 4k untill its warmed up.

Yea when I turn the key it turns on then off, it doesn't come on when I'm driving. I tried jumping it to pull the codes and all it does is have a solid check engine light , doesn't blink or anything just solid till I remove the paper clip.

Also noticed that my fitv line that comes out bellow the throttle body is plugged and I looked up the diagram and its not suppose to be plugged. The intake Mani I'm using is from a d15b . I also have a z6 Mani I can use but what's weird about it the Mani's are almost the same besides one vaccume port on the back which hooks into a sensor that goes to the carcoal canister. So idk if I can use it and idk why I couldn't if the z6 Mani is for the z6 engine, maybe cause my ej1 is made in Canada? Idk if any of this makes a difference just thought I'd add it in. Noob here still learning.

Also post clear pictures of the IM, TB, IACV, and FITV.
I will post pictures within the hour, and i haven't done a ignition system tune up , I swapped the motor in about a month ago got it from a friend who went b series, had low miles and everything was running on it so I didn't bother with it. When I bought the car it had a d15b in it which is why some parts I have swamped around. This was my first swap lol.

My Dad had the same exact problem with his last week. All he had to do was: replace the bank one 02 sensor, change spark plugs, spark plug wires, and a new distributor. It sounds like a lot, but believe it or not his car ran like a brand new, lol.
