Default why do my rpm's increase when im in neutral???

this just started to happen this morning, when im driving the car it seemed to be fine but when im at a stop the rpms stick at around 4k(rpm) and my ecu is chipped with a 3.5k rev limiter(chip made be xencron, so its a good chip) and if i throw the car in nuetral the rpm's will climb and stick at 4k.....now why would that happen??

the car is a 91 civic ef i have a dohc zc with a t-25 turbo and the ecu is a pr4 chipped(chip made be xencron) ive this set-up for a while(since jan.) and this just started today.

when my bov got disconnected it didnt make the surging idle like a typical vacuum leak , the rpms just stayed up....did you change anything on the car right before you noticed this?

yeah check your vacuum lines, it would cause the RPMs to surge up because u now have a new opening to the intake manifold. I know if that big PCV line comes off the middle of my intake manifold on my teg, the RPMs will rise around that high.
