engine sensors dont cause you to rev more at a particular speed. The only way that happens is if the gearbox is slipping.

thats probably the best way to describe it , its not shifting at the right points , its taking alot of revvs to move throught the gears, and doesnt find 4th

Might be up for a neutral start/gear position switch?

When in limp home mode, they usually start off in 3rd, and stay there, till you stop, turn off ignition, restart it, goes through gears till it finds the prob again, then limp mode again.
Water gets into the Gear position switch, and thats it, buggers up.
