CEL on? Have you tried pulling the codes from the ECU? And what do you mean cutting out? Like a rev limiter, or is breaking up and sputtering during VTEC?

Exactly like a rev limiter and also I have also checked the check engine code that comes on once in awhile recently and it's TDC sensor

It sounds like your car is in limp mode. The ECU does this to prevent damage to the engine. You need to diagnose and fix the CEL, then reset the ecu.
