to quote the vw diagnosis manual, for Digijet injection (1983-1985):

"The fuel injection control unit receives the engine speed signal from
terminal 7 of the ignition control unit. The fuel injection control
unit will limit engine speed to 5,400 RPM. If the engine speed
increases above 5,400 RPM, the injection control unit shuts off the
fuel supply by switching off the fuel injectors."

now the odd part is, the same book makes NO mention of any limiting
rpm for the Digifant (1986-1991) fuel injection. and i can't say that
i've ever bumped against an rpm limit ... don't usually go that fast.
anybody with Digifant ever felt the rpm limit??
