Default 4500rpm idle after timing belt change

Hi all,

This is the second timing belt change on my 96 Civic. This time it went
much smoother than it was 100k miles ago, BUT...

When I went to start the car, it went straight up to 4000rpm, then continued
onto 4500rpm at a slightly slower rate. It remained there until I shut off
the engine (about 15 sec later), since I knew it was not supposed to do
that.

I checked the obvious like a wrench got struck on the throttle arm or a
kinked throttle cable. But none of that.

I did a preliminary Google search and it seems to point toward the idle air
speed control or a vacuum leak. I don't see any disconnected hoses. Is
there an area I should concentrate on? Could the IAC be the cause?

I have the factory service manuel, but I need to know where else to look.

Thanks in advance
