Speed sensors, CHT sensor, crank position sensor, loose grounds, solder joints...etc. that may cause such issues.
Will it just not rev past that or is it misfiring? Is it smooth at the said 1600rpm or jerky?

Honestly, I don't know for sure. Wishful thinking that by changing the fuel parts the problem would be fixed, they haven't been changed in a while, if ever. The best thing will be sending the car to the mechanic next week, I am just trying to fix it myself before Dad sends the car in.
I will look at the mentioned sensors and the grounds.
Right now at idle, with light constant pedal pressure, it revs to 1000 and then bounces from 1000 to1600 constantly, it is jerky. Like I am trying to rev the engine with pulsating pedal pressure, but my foot doesn't move and the engine revs by itself. I don't think that makes any sense, with light steady pedal pressure at 1000 rpm (holding at 1000) the engine revs itself to 1600, back to 1000, 1600,1000, etc.
If I push the pedal down further and hold it, engine still bounces and revs itself up and down. Then sometimes it revs fine and I can actually drive the car around the block. But right now, I am afraid to drive the car.
I guess I was hoping for a member here to have had the exact same problem and miracle cure, before the mechanic troubleshoots the problem/solution.
