High idle...no cel

I just got my '98 put together after having it apart to do a laundry list of maintenance and repairs including valve job; Ims; Rms; aos; coolant reservoir; cam to cam ramps and chains; o2 sensors; clutch; and a variety of seals.

The car started right up with minimal clatter or smoke, and I am encouraged that I am headed in the right direction.

As of right now, my only issue is that the engine is idling at around 1000 rpm. It is smooth and steady, but higher than what is normal for my car. Prior to my tear down, th engine idled at a steady 700 rpm.

The reading that I've done suggests a vacuum leak could cause an elivated idle. Can I have a vacuum leak without having a code thrown?

Also, since the engine was apart and needed retimed, is it possible that a timing issue could cause an elivated idle? I can say with confidence that I payed special attention to timing procedures that I found outlined on this sight and others. All marks were dead on, and checked again, again, and....

Looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks
