Hey guys,
I have a 95 GPX 5sp that doesnt really like going over 6 -6.5 RPM when it should really have some ping left in her. Is it possible the MIVEC isnt kicking in?

cheers

Is this all the time or only when cold? The ecu will stop ypu going into mivec when cold to protect the engine but should be fine when warm.

If it is all the time then i would say its probably the alternator. If alternantor wiring, connection or alternator itself is damaged it will also stop you mivec'ing

Could be;

Air Intake Control Valve Position Sensor - The sensor / mechanism that controls the opening / closing of the Intake manifold butterflies.. replace sensor
Alternator FR Terminal probs - Replace / refurb alternator to fix

Extrac the diagnosis codes from teh ECU & then we can help some more.
