My Honda Accord 1991 does something very strange....when the engine is cold the car turns on normal, but as it get warm the car turns off. Then the car starts but the check engine light turns on. As the car runs the RPM only reach 4000 and the gear needs to be changed. If I continue to accelerate the motor sounds like its stuck. This only happens when the car is warm; when the engine is cold it works perfect. Does someone knows what it is???

First thing you should do is look under the hood or on the drivers door for a sticker that says WHAT YEAR the car is.
The next thing you should do is to have the CEL codes read.
Rev limit is usually because the CEL causes the ECU to run the engine in "default" mode.
