Limited electronically, around 5600rpm.  Don't make it spin that fast.

Subject: Rev limiter????

I was driving my 1983.5 vanagon 1.9L after changing the antifreeze, it is
starting to look like winter down here.  I was getting it in second gear,
and it semed like the ignition cut out, similar to other vehicles I have
driven when the rev limiter is hit.

I looked at the rotor, and it did not seem like the aircooled rev limit type
I rarely see on anything anymore.

It only did it at high RPM and I never tried to rev up the other gears, so
do these vehicles have a built in rev limiter, or do I need to start
troubleshooting a high speed miss?

Thanks in advance
