Mine is having the exact same problem. I'm assuming it has gone into "limp mode" for some reason, but the cel is not on and there are no codes. I've been having this issue since i bought the car and have yet to figure it out.. even brought it into a honda dealer. Any suggestions/advice on this thread would be much appreciated by me as well.

I'm by no means a Honda expert, but is the temp sensor giving the right readings to the ECM??
All I know is VTec wont engage until the correct operating temp is reached.... and a faulty temp sensor may not throw a CEL??
(although that wouldn't explain the rev limited to 4500rpm)
