Is it a 2.2 or a 3.0? Manual or automatic? Maybe a VTEC issue or someting to do with the rev limiter

Anyone else have any ideas?

Check engine light? Your car might be stuck in limp mode...

Go to AutoZone (or similar auto parts store) and have them read the code from the Check Engine light (connector for the code reader is behind the ashtray). This should give you a better idea of what is going on....

It's a mode where your ECU does not let the car engage vtec. Basically it means that one of the sensors is telling the ECU..."holy shit, something is fucked up... dont let the owner drive hard."
