you car is rev limiting at 4000rpm because it is running in limp mode. there is a fault with the engine electronics which is why the engine management light is on. Ideally the car needs to be plugged into a tech 2 diagnostic computer to find out what the problem is

mine does this. i dont drive it atm though so i'm not too fussed. if i increase the revs gently it will go all the way up to the limiter. if i plant the accel pedal quickly it revs up to about 3500 and wont go any higher. its a 12v like yours. eml doesn't come on though so i cant have a fault code read.
