Do you have any trouble codes from the engine diagnostic computer? If not ask your machanic to extract them, then people have information to help you with. Sounds like the engine computer is limiting the revs to save further damage from whatever it is that is wrong.

Could be the Crank Position Sensor or the K40 Relay, both will give you the problems described and many times doesn't trigger the check engine light.

Engine wiring was changed, mechanic says the car is OK, more after a few road tests... BTW, old engine wiring was found to be worn out and some parts were replaced...
