High idle

Anyone have any ideas why my car would be idling high? I cleaned the IACV already. Car is a 95 Civic with an H22A swap. Car idles at around 2000RPMs. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Intake air/vacuum leak? Dirty FITV? Any CEL codes?

start it up, take intake breather tube off, look inside the throttle body and push the flap closed with your fingers does the idle lower?

To learn how to pull the CEL codes, click the CEL link in my signature.

The fast idle valve is generally attached to the throttle body:
