Default just rebuilt motor and car idles too high!!!

i just recently rebuilt my motor to a da6 integra, b16 pistons and p&p head, i start the car and it idles all the way to 2.5 rpm and the check engine light turns on, i thought it would be a vaccum leak but all hoses are secure, does anybody have any ideas what could be wrong with it? thanks in advance-*****

There is a little screw on the throttle body, turn it and the idle will go down.

try twisting the throttle body screw and if thats not it you might need new fuel injectors

Why would he need fuel injectors? He has a high idle.

A fuel injector problem cannot cause a high idle. You need more air to create a high idle. Too much fuel will make the mixture too rich and will kill the motor or make it run like hell.
