**UPDATE**
Changed my oil today, and went to a shop to get my codes read. They said my injectors were getting clogged and my air filter is dirty. I will be picking up a new air filter and fuel injector cleaner sometime today or tomorrow. Thank you everyone that helped!!

Not too urgent but I didn't know where else to put this.

I'm having an issue with something but I can't figure out what is causing the problem. Basically when I get the RPMs up slightly over 4000 (after vtec kicks in ;) Its like misfiring or something(feels like the engine loses power almost). I don't really know how to explain it much better because I've never experienced a misfire. I just replaced the spark plugs but it didnt fix it. Check Engine light is not on and this has been happening for about a month.

Should I get new spark plug wires? What are some parts I should check/ replace?

Thanks for any help!

I may be wrong but if a cylinder misfires I think it automatically throws a code.

Wires have any visible damage?

Check/clean the vtec solenoid screen. Check oil levels too. See if anyone has a code reader you can use, or go to a parts store that checks codes for free.

Thanks for the help! Not great with cars but I should be able to find out how to get to the VTEC solenoid. Hopefully that fixes the problem because I wanna get those RPMs up!!!

VTEC solenoid is found on the passenger side of the head on the back side of it on the 4 cyl. V6, it is near the oil filter. YouTube will probably prove useful.
