Toyota Avensis will not rev above 3500 rpm or so

Car: Toyota Avensis
Variant: 1.8 petrol
Model Year: 1998
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
The engine will not rev above 3500 rpm or thereabouts in any gear or even in neutral.
I have already fitted new plugs and a petrol filter. I have also replaced the ht leads (from the breakers). Can anyone help me please, many thanks NEIL
