    I believe its around 5, but accords and preludes dont have much of a crossover point. Once the CEL comes back on I'll figure out what it is

    Mine factory was like 4500 I have it at 3500 right now.... It crosses over VERY good for a single cam, feels just like a B16 if not better... When it hits the car actually jumps... But i kind of fixed it I put the new fuel filter on which I think was the original(190K) and it still did it, so I up'd the fuel on the VAFC +4 from 3500-6000... And its pulling all the way threw with no weird revlimters or anything..... IDK if I have the wrong injectors or something, but I'm going to change my plugs here in the next day or two and do what mainstream told me again, and see if there white again.....

    FYI, on mid 90s accords, if the light comes on and then goes back out, it stores the code, so you can still check it by jumnping the blue plug underneath the dash on the passenger side..

    both of your cars sound like VTEC issues.. whenever the VTEC system is acting up, it will start to limit the revs when it goes to hit VTEC if something is not in check.. did you try a new pressure switch or just some other old ratty pressure sensor? have you checked oil pressure? the oil pressure can be low enough to affect VTEC yet not be low enough to turn on the low oil pressure light.. check that, and if the oil pressure is fine, check for continuty between the ECU pins that correspond with the wires at the pressure solenoid... could be a burnt/broken wire, or a loose connection on the harness or at the ECU.

    Yeah my buddy told me it would still store it. I'll check it in the morning and report back. Whatever the CEL is is undoubtably the problem
