Re: when you rev the car the counter doesnt pass 3000...
If the vehicle won't rev past 3k in park or neutral, that is normal. It is the rev limiter stopping you from breaking your engine. If it does it while it is in gear, you probably have an exhaust blockage.

On the diagnostic plug under the bonnet you can bridge out TE1 and E1 and read the fault code on the cluster if it gives any. Is it a 1993 to 1997 model.

if everything is working and there is no engine lights on then it may just be the connection on the dash to the wiring or the rev counter has failed and just needs replacing, its usually the connections that go discoloured and loses connection and they just need a clean with some enrycloth. or switch cleaner.
I am having the same problem. My service agent said they have to pull the whole system apart to find the problem. Lots of cost here. Seems like this could be a common problem. Is there an easier way of fixing this
With such high revving engines (me being a Honda fanatic) you need to keep an eye on oil levels. Check the level, top up as necessary. Without the correct amount of oil in, the oil pressure cannot stimulate the switch over cam, which takes it to 8500rpm.
Also, please don't rev you car without load (ie. standing still), this causes valve lash and is detrimental to the engine. Again, please do not rev your car hard without letting the oil get up to temperature or it won't last long :)
Once you check your oil, reset the ECU by pulling the battery lead off for around 20 minutes.
Good luck and have a blast. Could you vote for me if this helps you. Thanks.
The rev counter could be faulty.
I hope the engine is responding ok on accelaration inspite of the rev counter being stuck on 3000rpm , if so thn its definately the rev counter being faulty.
