For some reason my Civic 95 EX V-tec car it wont rev past 6k which forces me to shift. I am trying to figure out why this is. My engine supposedly has about 110k miles and i used to have a 93 si and it went happily to 7250.
car details:
1. it dose the same in neutral
2. it runs the same miles per gear come pared to other same models
3. exept for 3rd i get an ave. of 95-98 mph at 6k rpms
4. i bout the car like that
5. ive notice it has a replacement ignition (adapted)
6. its a stock car heder only
7. Timing is ok
8. speed and acceleration ok
9. no smoke

thanks for the helps

Could your tach be off? Just a quick thought

naa its ok i can see it work just well up to 6k rpms

hey not sure if this help but when it hitts 6k rpms does it sound like its be controlled by a rev limiter. My 96 dx hatch hits what i think is a rev limiter at around 6800 at wont go any further. Its a non vtec sohc 1.6L stick shift. not sure if it helps but i figured i mention it.
