wierd sounds like its in limp mode.

couple of things here. scan the car for codes regardless (they might not set a MIL but there can still be pending codes in the computer)

make sure the car is at operating temperature.

if that doesn't work. check the vtec solenoid and clean the screen (it could be clogged).

and if thats fine. disconnect the battery and leave it for 30 seconds and then connect it again (to clear the ECU of its memory).

but if its stopped at 6500. the ECU is trying to tell you something is wrong. most likely a sensor of some sort isn't reading properly preventing you from taking the car into more dangerous engine speeds.
