Brian,
   It could also be an ignition issue.  When I got my
87 gti a few years back it often wouldn't rev over
around 4700 rpm.  I swapped out the ignition module
(after a lot of wrong paths) and that fixed it.  See
if you can borrow one from another car or you can get
a new non-OEM one for around $30.
Good Luck,
James Blumenfeld

PS - If anyone is interested, the Maine Forest Rally
is this weekend in Rumford Maine.  Go to
