Honda civic del sol won't rev past 4k on highway?

I put a brand new distributor on my del sol. It solved the jumping rpm neddle and temp guage. But it still will not go over 4k rpm on highway. It just has no power after that. @ 4k, my engine isn't even screaming or trying to rev higher, it just sits there. So my car tops out @ 85 to 90 mph. I used to could hit 115 with no peoblem. Any suggestions?

V-tec solenid can be your problem if your car is equipped with v-tec. Is is throwing an engine code by chance? Had a civic doing the same thing.

The guy I bought the car from said the flywheel is bad. I took it to a shop they said automatics do not have flywheels. Now the 2nd shop says the starter is out and possibly the flywheel. I need to know if i should purchase both the starter and flywheel or just the starter?
