There are a lot of thing that will make a car rev but the only way you can can enough air in the motor to red line the car is thru the throttle body.
Since you car is not drive by wire it is most likely the the cable(s), the cable(s) routing the throttle body itself.
Disconnect the throttle cable and cruse cable. See the the thottle body works smoothly and returns quickly. If not you it will need repair/replace it. If so next you need to chek the throttle cable hooked up. If thats all good I would drive it without the cruse hooked up and see if that makes a differents.
