Icon2 2009 Civic in limp mode - error codes

My 2009 Civic works fine when it is cold. When the engine warms up it won't go past 3,500 RPM. I've learned from these forums that is limp mode or safe mode to protect the engine. I've scanned the error codes and am including them below. Any suggestions on what they mean or what other diagnostics or repairs you'd recommend?

P0103
and
P2646

Thanks!

P0103 Honda - Mass Air Flow Sensor Circuit High Voltage

Possible issues:
Faulty mass air flow sensor
Intake air leaks
Dirty mass air flow sensor
Dirty mass air filter
Mass air flow sensor harness is open or shorted
Mass air flow sensor circuit poor electrical connection

P2646 Honda - VTEC Oil Pressure Switch Circuit Low Voltage

Check engine oil level and pressure
Faulty VTEC Oil Pressure Switch
VTEC Oil Pressure Switch harness is open or shorted
VTEC Oil Pressure Switch circuit poor electrical connection


That should put you along the right course of what to look for...
