Check your spark as it can run fine on 2 cylinders in driveway and rev up fine with no load on it. If engine runs up to 4000rpm and goes no further you could have a fuel problem from the following: low fuel pressure from high pressure pump, low fuel pressure from mechanical pump, clogged/stuck injector/s, restricted fuel supply from tank. If it is missing spark on #1 and #4 or #2 and #3 they are on same coil, so it could be a pulsar coil in flywheel...
