Did the previous owner or yourself mod the gauge cluster? If the needle is sticking thats either a problem with the stepper or they pushed the needle back on too far and its catching on the face (i had that problem when modding mine) also maybe they set it wrong does the car sound like it's at 4k? Like when you accelerate does the motor keep going faster and the gauge gets stuck? Does it idle at 650~ when warmed up? That's what happened with mine it was getting stuck at 3500 and moving really slow and jerking. Any lights on? Ses, slip, vdc etc..?

THIS.
If the car thinks your upstream oxygen sensors are messed up, there's a very good chance it will keep you from revving up high because it can't properly calibrate the fuel mixture based on reliable feedback from the sensors.
What's up with your oxygen sensors? Your car will run like crap without working front oxygen sensors and will burn through a ton of gas because it's always going to run rich. You will also risk possibly burning out your catalytic converters quickly due to the car always running rich. Decent aftermarket replacement catalytic converters would cost upwards of $450-600. I'm just letting you know so you can hopefully avoid a potential future problem that was caused by not knowing the impacts of driving on bad front oxygen sensors.
If it's the rear sensors that are not working right, that won't affect your vehicle at all aside from making you fail inspection (depending on your state of residence) since the downstream sensors are simply there to make sure that the exhaust coming out of the converters meets some minimum threshold of cleanliness and isn't spewing obscene amounts of noxious emissions into the environment.
