Default automatic vs. manual throttle bodys? high idle after new motor

Ok I got an 02 civic. Swapped an ex motor. Had an lx motor. The new motor is from an auto. I got it installed yet the idle is high 1500rpms. Why is that? Are the auto throttle body diff? It looks the same.

I have no vac leaks and everything is where it should be.. this is the only thing I'm guessing it is.

Check the Idle Air Control Valve. I cannot recall if there's an idle adjustment screw on the D17 throttle body, as it's been over 4 years since I've had one.

i think idle speed is controlled by the ECU and based on coolant temperature?

so the car starts up at 1500 rpm but idle won't drop down to around 700rpm?
