Stuck in limp mode. Possibly the ECU is at fault?
im hoping someone can help me, i just bought a 94 civic coupe 5 speed with a d16y8 swap, the engine is vtec but does not engage, it redlines at about 4k, doesnt have tach so i dont know for sure...i was told the ecu in the car isnt for a 5 speed but instead for an auto....but the car drives fine other than not cracking vtec and having a very low rev limiter....so could the ecu alone be the reason it redlines so early and doesnt crack vtec?

It could be. Have you taken a look at the ECU yet to check? If you are unsure, let us know the part number on the ECU and we'll be happy to help.
