Maybe your motor is not meant to rev that high. It's probably your rev limiter.

Really? Why does the LX cluster (which is also a D15B7) have a 6,400 RPM redline?

Reason is so u dont blow up ur engine... if u sit there reving ur engine:

1: You WILL blow it up eventually

2: You look like a moron.

So if u want to do one of those keep revin it!.

Its incredible how no one has contributed anything helpful at all.

Check plug wires, dist rotor and cap, any CEL's ? Wont hurt to check your oil either. Have you done any recent work to the car, backtrack. Think of what you may not have put back correctly.

A stock d15b7's rev limiter is at 6500 rpm, so for all you people, no it is not the rev limiter.
