Giant vacuum leak

There's a large hole or gap somewhere that needs a gasket or a plug or something

Lose the all-caps, IT IS EXTREMELY RUDE BECAUSE IT'S VERY HARD TO READ AND MAKES IT LOOK LIKE YOU ARE SCREAMING AT ALL OF US.

Re: ENGINE IDLES AT HIGH RPM LIKE 5000

yeah sounds like you have a massive vacuum leak.

Go over all the seals in your intake and everything you removed and replaced.
