Feels like hitting rev limiter at random rpm's.

Hi all,
Was just wondering if anyone's got any ideas about my problem. After a long drive tonight (160 miles) my car's decided that it'll randomly place the limiter anywhere along the rev range. Or so it seems... I've also realised that when i re-apply the throttle pedal, it works as normal. So.... pull away from junction, get to approx 3k for example, feels like i've hit the rev limiter, have to leave off the throttle and then re-apply and then it's fine.
I'm guessing it could be throttle position sensor? Possibly camshaft sensor or even crank sensor? but surely they'd cause the engine light to come on?
Could it also be a sticky or dirty throttlebody?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Paul.
