Check the shop manual for your car. Every car has a limit as to the highest rpm the engine will go before it stops. It is a safety feature. 4,000 rpm sounds a little low, but it could be correct. Normally, it is higher. If it is higher, you either have computer problems or a broken wire or a wire with a little insulation missing.

Why does your fin in your turbo stop spinning on idle?
The TURBINE inside a turbo-charger stops spinning when the vehicle is at idle because there isn't enought exhaust pressure to keep it spinning, lowering the internal engine pressure. creating less wear on the turbo and engine also alowing the engine to idle.. if it was to continue forcing air into the engine it would also need to force gas. to match the air fuel ratio to keep the car from dying, causing the engine to rev.. not stay at idle..
