Re: 98 civic won't rev past 4k rpm
yes....it does happen, seen it happen
no harm in checking anyway
i cant see an o2 sensor causing this problem,
other possiblities would be a faulty cam or crank sensor, but if that was the case your CEL would most likely be on giving you that code

Wait a sec. ONLY 2200? Maybe exhaust is clogged (cat?).
Pull the front O2 sensor back out and see if the engine will rev any higher than before.

.
So was the timing belt out of time?
Is that all the faster it can go while driving down the road, or was that power braking while stopped?
Was this with the gas pedal only partway down, or was this with gas pedal floored?
I was thinking that removing the sensor would allow a couple hundred more RPM under either condition above if the exhaust were blocked or restricted.
Without a real measurement (pressure gauge test), all you really know from that is the pump is able to run.
If you had said it squirted over your shoulder and hit the roof, then I'd believe you actually had some pressure there.

(watched it spray out -test)

And it does have a clutch in there. A wet clutch pack, like in an automatic trans...used for initial takeoff.
