Default Vtech solenoid??

When I give my car WOT at about 6500-7000 RPM's, its revving real high but not going anywhere. It pulls hard up til then but once it gets there (6500-7000) RPM range it struggles. It will hit the rev limiter early at about 7700 RPMs and it will throw CEL. CEL will stay on, and once I turn the car off then back on it will go away. The reason I say vtec solenoid is I've heard that vtec solenoids are 2 stages and it seems the second stage isnt engaging. correct me if Im wrong. I dont have a scanner, and its a 1995 Acura Integra GSR with original motor. Ive already checked the oil level and its good. LMK what you think.

VTEC not VTECH like in the title.

Your GSR has only one stage of VTEC at ~4400 RPM. The ~5750 RPM sound change is from the IAB opening.

Pull the code for the CEL. There is an instruction link in the Integra FAQ thread.

I will see what code it gives me. It has a MSD dizzy on it. I will check out the code and see what integra faq.'s say.

Thanks for the help.
