ive got a 94 accord ex with about 52,000 miles and when ever i try to rev more than 4,500 RPM's the engine just stays in 4,500 RPM's and wont go pass that, even when im driving i noticed that the car picks up pretty OK but then the needle just stays in 4500 rpm's and stays there for like 3 seconds then the next gear kicks in and no sound of vtec kicking in. I really need help fast. What can the problem be, my guess are the oil pump or the vtec solenoid but i have no clue. So please help out a member here. Thanks in advanced.

 

if my vtec didnt kick in.... i would never get past 2,400 rpm....lol

I think my ECU is chiped and i just dont know it..

im thinking a wire got lose, but if that was the matter the CEL would had came on tho...

only thing i can tell you cheak if you got a signal to the vtec solenoid, if so its the solenoid.

try the vtec light

 

so you can't go past 4500 rpm. I would tell you to check the oil level. My guess is it's too low, and more oil has to be added.
