Can't get past 6000 RPM

Hi, I've recently bought my first Prelude so I'm new to this forum. Driving home last night, my favourite spot of road was empty so I gave her some welly. VTEC came on as usual but then she woldn't rev any further, just stayed around 6000 RPM in third on a level road. Tried again a couple of times, but same thing. Off VTEC, all is normal and she runs just fine, except I could hear some rattling noice that seemed to come from the exhaust, but when I looked underneath, all looks normal and I couldn't duplicate the rattle on the ramp.

She's in great shape with 88K kms (JDM) on her, but no service history, except seller told me cambelt had been changed. I did change the oil and oil filter and air filter and plugs when I got her, but this hesitation has me stumbled. Could it be the Fuel Filter? She must be starving for either air or fuel or the JDM rev limiter is going wonky. Any ideas where to look?

Many thanks.
