I don't think any CIS car has a rev limiter, but CIS-E cars do...

It could be a bad fuel pump relay...

My '84 Scirocco would cut-off at 5500 rpm when I first bought it, and
with a jumper installed, it pulled all the way to 6800 rpm.
I replaced the relay, and that took care of the problem.

Don't throw the old relay out if it is bad, it can be turned into a
fool-proof fuel pump relay jumper.
Open it up and remove the IC, and solder the power pins together, and
write test on the bottom of the empty relay.
