It could be any # of things. Describe what's happening a little better. How? Any sounds? is your check engine light on? etc.

have you messed with a vtec controller or anything like that? if the solenoid isnt hooked up properly it wont switch cams and will choke you out around that rpm

Did you push you clutch in, and thus it dropped?

do the RPM's drop and then go back up? if so sounds like your clutch is going out.

That's very true! When my clutch went out, it would not grab above 4000RPM for me, unless I took it easy. The disc did not make full contact to the flywheel for mine because it dug a groove into my flywheel.
