If the fuel filter is old or the in tank filter is the original..they may not allow enough fuel flow at high engine speed and it will feel like a rev limiter.

You said the air filter was replaced..did the fuel filter get changed too?

Seen this before. especially a low mileage car. It did not get driven much and the fuel tank will shed some debris (rust). It will get caught by the tank filter and clog up.

Don't get upset if there is rust in the tank..its not fatal..they all do after all these years.
The tank filter may be a possibility... Will try that next. Thanks!
