well, the sensor is located within the distributor. and not rev'ing past 3K is your car going into "limp" or "safe" mode. doing this keeps damage to the motor down to a minimal amount. recheck your wiring, make sure its all plugged in the correct way. this might not have anything to do with it, but there is a certain wires coming off the distributor (sets of 5 or 2 different sets, depends on which car you have) that are shielded and those shielded wires get grounded. if there is a break in that wire it could cause a faulty reading. just a thought on this last one.
