I would suggest you change out the fuel filter and then try it, if that doesn't change anything then pressure test the fuel pump to see if it is putting out the correct pressure, low fuel pressure causes this type of symptom
Have you or anyone else done any work to the car lately? Your car is in "limp" or "safe" mode - the car's computer thinks something is wrong with the car, and is only allowing it to get to 3500rpm to prevent any further damage to the engine. Check around for any loose wiring, particularly around the ECU. http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1410696
It is possible that your clutch is slipping, causing the engine to rev high. Does it also seem to be lacking power, ie if you put your foot ******* the accelerator does it just rev up and not go any faster? If so, the clutch will need to be replaced. Take it to a garage and get them to road test and report to you if you are unsure.
Hope this helps,

Is there any white smoke coming out the exhaust? Sounds like the same problem my friend had when he warped his head on his 91 civic. Any overheating at all? Otherwise another guess would be maybe a bad catalitic converter that clogged up. Hope this helps any, good luck
