Electrical Help

Today, my 85.5 944 (non-turbo) died while driving at about 35MPH. For the last week or so, my 944 has intermittently refused to run above 1800 RPM. Acting like a rev-limiter. Engine started well, even in extreme cold, idles well, and runs good, except for this problem. As long as I up-shifted to the next gear, and didn't get to the 1800 RPM level, engine did not miss. If I did hit the 1800 RPM, engine would die momentarily, I would up-shift, and engine would pull strong again up to 1800. I don't think its fuel starvation, because the engine cut-out is so abrupt and consistent at 1800 RPM.

Now it is not running at all. Turns over strong - but not firing. Any ideas? I would like to steer the shop in the right direction.
