I think this arises from NDSolve not having the solutions beyond the
point where it reaches the max number of steps. You can increase the
number of steps NDSolve takes to a higher number of you can just set
it to infinity.(obviously is not a good idea if your system is
weird...)
eq1=x'[t]==y[t];
eq2=y'[t]==1/x[t]-1.4-(4.5+y[t])*(1+z[t]^2);
eq3=z'[t]==18*z[t]-0.75*(4.5+y[t])^2*z[t]-z[t]^3;
DynamicModule[{},
Manipulate[
s=NDSolve[{eq1,eq2,eq3,x[0]==0.669,y[0]==0.881,z[0]==0.988}, =
{x,y,z},
{t,0,tf}, MaxSteps->Infinity];
Plot[{Evaluate[x[t]/.s], Evaluate[y[t]/.s], Evaluate[z[t]/.s]}, {t,
0,tf}, PlotRange-> All, PlotStyle->{Red,Green,Blue}, AxesLabel->{Style
["t",16], Style["x, y, z",16]}], {tf, 10, 100}]
]
