Default my vtecs playing up.. help!!

my prelude seems to be holdin back, the vtec kicks in at 5500rpm, but it stops at 6500rpm, it usually kicks up to 7500. its an auto and should hav a smooth gear change at 7500 automatically, but it hits 6500 and it feels like i've red lined it and wont change gear unless i eased the throttle.. also, after driving it a few times, the car fails to start up, give her 5 mins, she'll be fine and starts up again.. any ideas?? i've been told that it could be the heat sensor on the cat or ecu playing up.. but i dont wanna throw a load of money at it n it wont solve my probs.. pleeeeeeaase help.. i read the review on these vtecs b4 and it says out of all the productions made, not one vtec has gone wrong yet.. thats like 'wow'.. could i be the first??
