Need tech help..

I got a Civic, has about 5200 miles on it and I've noticed it's been starting at a higher RPMs than usual, usually it starts at 1100 RPM and now it's closer to 1500 RPM, maybe I'm just ****, but could it be a problem? I don't abuse it much, I gun it on weekends but my car is slow as Sh*t so I don't go fast.

Well, I hope you have a Civic or you're in the wrong place. And atleast you recognize it is slow, you're ahead of the game

My guess is a sticky throttle. That would hold the revs up. It's a problem, take it to Honda. the other question that may help get an answer... Stick or Auto?

if it does this when the engine is cold i think that it's normal. my car recently has been reving higher cold when i start it only because the weather has turned cooler here.
