Sorry can't help with the vacuum order, but check for a vacuum leak by spraying carb cleaner all over the intake system. 4K RPM (verified with tach?)....can't really be anything else to cause that high an idle. Well, maybe a TPS. But do the spray test first then test the TPS.

Be sure to spray around ALL mating surfaces (EGR/TB/both intakes etc) without spraying inside TB.
