Default High RPM stutter?

I have a '85 L98, A4,that when i get on it it stutters, almost like a rev limiter. If I let off the gas just a little it stops. Ive changed plugs, wires, cap, rotor. Canot find the source of the problem. I have also hooked up a code scanner but get no codes. Any help or guidence would be appreciated, Thanks, Doc

It could be a high rpm miss on your coil Have you thought of fuel strvation? How old is your fuel filter?
When was the last time you cleaned the injectors?

Injectors look new, but not sure. I di ohm reading on all of them and all were close. Havnt checked fuel filter but the problem doesnt "feel" like a fuel starvation problem. Sounds and feels like a rev limiter is engaging. but im no pro so i could very well be wrong. Just feels like electrical or computer related

The rev limiter in the later Corvettes is a fuel shut off. That is not to say you don't have an ignition problem. To rule out the fuel, make a banzai run with a fuel pressure gauge where you can read it and watch for a pressure drop.

RACE ON!!!
