Stops reving at 5-7k when temp gauge is low
When I try to get above about 5k rpms when first starting off when the car has been off for awhile and the temp gauge is low I get stuck and it won't go any higher than 5 k-6k almost like it gets stuck in vtec or hitting the rev limiter. What's my problem?
First post guys so don't grill me if I did it wrong

The car will not exced 6,400 Rpm when "cold" (AP1). Many peeps use 3 bars of temp, again AP1, as a reference to when your good to go. Someone can give the AP2 bar rule as I don't know it off the top of my head. In reality the temp relates to oil viscosity. The cut off is actually regulated by fluid pressure to the V-TEC solenoid which is affected by temperature. Cold fluid is thicker and does not provide enough pressure.
