Default Is this limp mode?

I just want a straight forward answer, I don't want to hassle anyone too bad.
I have done plenty... PLENTY of research!
I'm having a problem with vtec not working and/or my car being in limp mode.
The car is a 94 civic with an h22a with a p13 ecu, it revs to about 5700 rpm and then hits a rev limiter, most people say that when in limp mode, they can't rev past 4k so I think its not the issue but I'm just trying to narrow down the issue.
I had a couple cel codes but they were cleared and the person that cleared them at the shop said that they didn't apply to my car.

So please if I could get an answer, I'd be very happy, cheers!

Can't tell you **** without the CEL codes. Next time they pop, pull over, DO NOT shut off the car and pull them. All you need is a paperclip then count the long and short dashes.

one of them was for an egr valve but I have it bypassed with a block off plate and the other was something about an o2 sensor but the guy said that it wasn't an issue because my car is a 4 cylinder so I'm assuming that if it had more cylinder that it would apply. Thanks for the reply.

Is the VTEC solenoid working? Might need to be cleaned.

And as an aside, the person at the shop couldn't figure it out?

yes, I just tested it and cleaned it out. It was at a shop my brother works at, his co-worker scanned the code for me, that was it.

I believe it's either wiring or its in limp mode for a completely different reason. Hopefully it's wiring. That's why I wanted to ask before I started getting into the electrical
