just an idea but it sounds like the maf sensor to me.

try unplugging it then start the car and see if it will rev past 3000 to 3500 then plug it back in and do the same if it is the same either way. then it is your maf, if it makes a difference then it might not be the maf.
mine acts up on occasion but not all the time mostly when its wet outside.
