I assume it has L-Jet? Seems like a good place to start is vacuum lines..if any of them are original they are certainly rotten...and probably leaking....and the fuel pressure regulators are connected to vacuum lines.

82 Euro is the older style injection, CIS or Kjet. There are two models a 4.5L and the S with 4.7 and 300 hp. Does not rev could be anything, if its the fuel distributor or WUR it gets expensive fast.
Whats the motor ID or the VIN? |

I had a Celica back 20 years ago that suddenly wouldn't rev: was the fuel filter. Just a thought.
There's an '88 Countach down the street at a shop that wouldn't rev: made 220rwhp on the dyno. CDI igntion was fried: replaced: made 425rwhp.

No real point in getting too focused on revving, look over the whole car and make a plan for restoring it.

Very nice, thats a Euro S, 300 hp, and no sunroof? Very nice. Is it a 5 spd or auto?
This is a car well worth doing it right, good luck. |

There are some inline screens after the fuel filter that are designed to protect the CIS unit. I haven't a clue as to where they are, but they do clog up, and can be the cause of your problem. David Tassineri over at Rennlist dealt with this last year, he could probably tell you what they found.

Check the easy stuff first, if it is not reving then perhaps the linkage is disconnected at the throttle body.

When you get it home, first thing I would do is clean out the fuel system, drain the tank etc.
