this is a vaccum leak. where it is comming from who knows can't tell online, but i can tell you a few common places. the iacv(idle air control valve), but that is a motr loped idle, along with the fast idle valve under the throttle body. take the intake off a cover the tb and if it still revs 4k then you have a major leak.

yeah, i was bout to check the IAC valve. but the fast idle valve isnt it so ima take the IAC off and clean it up to see if that's it

take off the intake tube, start the car adn place your hand over the throttle body . if thier are no vaccum leaks it should stall. if it still revs to 4k with hand over tb then you knwo it's getting air from somewhere else. got it?

already did that no success.. ima jus clean out the iac valve and see what happends and jus double check all vac. lines and make sure none of em are crackd.. its the only thing i can think of
