Default Need hepl with my dd "Jetta"

So 95 Jetta III celebration 2.0 5-speed. Sometimes drives just fine. Other times will act like I'm hitting the rev limiter at 2000. When this happens its almost impossible to drive. Here's what makes it odd no codes. Checked typical stuff while running and all through codes. Even picked up JY air box with Mass and 2 other things on it and all seam to work. Don't know VWs at all and am about to scrap this thing and loose way to much. Any help you can give Thanks.

throttle body.. my friends vw had a lot of junk and dirt inside his... and it did something similiar...

The other friend had a Gti... that the clutch was not fully disengaging.... it would not release from the presure plate making it completely not driveable...

MAF is most likely, but yes...clean the throttle body as well.


my '85 cabriolet did this.
