4200 rpm idle?...that's really high

does this happen only when its cold or when its warm?

did you try adjusting the idle screw?

With an I-D-L-E ( )that high, I can pretty much assure you that you have a massive vac leak somewhere. Did you take any lines or plugs off the intake manifold upstream of the throttle body?

check ur idle screw on the intake manifold, check ur throttle cable and make sure it has the correct slack and is setup right, and check the lines going to ur intake manifold, make sure the butterfly valve on the intake manifold isnt stuck slightly open while ur at it, try those and see if it works if it doesnt we'll get into more details
