Possible VTEC problems
I was on the freeway today, and the s was hesitating in vtec. then it dropped down in rmp just like if you over rev the car when it is cold. the car now will not go over 6000-6500 rpms in any gear. Do you think it is the vtec valve solenoid? Where is it located and how hard is it to replace?

your vtec solenoid is located on the passenger side of the cylinder head. when you open the hood and you are looking at the engine bay it is on the left side of the cylinder head, just above the cam chain tensioner( you'll get to know that part soon enough). replacing it, if needed, is a simple 5 to 10 minute task.
also, if you don't have at least three bars on your temperature gauge, then the vtec will not engage. i guess it's a safety device.
the green circle is circling a bolt on the vtec not the entire assembly.

ShotgunJimmy's suggestion to check the oil is a good one.
The VTEC system is operated by oil pressure. Not enough oil and VTEC doesn't work.
And if the computer notices that happening, it'll rev limit you until the error codes are cleared.
I had this happen to me while driving in my previous car, an Integra GSR. Adding oil and resetting the error codes fixed the problem then.
