New swap? might be the white wires are flipped backwards.
Spark plug wires might be 'leaking' and grounding out.

kinda curious about this myself, one of my friends had a guy put a zc in his 91 hatch and it has a loose connection as well, if he mounts his ecu it won't rev past 3500 either, but if he lays in on the floorboard it will, let me know what you find out. its dumb, gotta be loose pin.
