It's like it hits the Rev limiter. There's no check engine light on. I checked my oil it was very low, I added enough to top it off. But it still has the same problem.

This is a VTEC engine so we need to check and make sure there are no stored codes even though there is no check engine light on.

If there are no codes, can you get a video of what is happening? Are you revving the engine in neutral or does it stop at 3,000 RPM's while driving?

If it does it while driving we may have an issue with a throttle sensor but I suspect there will be a stored code. This is not an uncommon issue to have P1381 in the computer but clearly we need to confirm that first.

Thanks
