Exclamation turn steering wheel & engine RPM increases

I am parked and engine is idle. Engine is not cold as I have driven the car for 6 miles.
When I turn the steering wheel, engine RPM goes up and stays up until I let go of the steering wheel.
I bought this car used so I am not sure if this is normal or not.
I tried to upload a video but the site has 5mb limit on file uploads. I will try to see if I can upload it somewhere and add the link.

thanks for help in advance.



2007 Civic LX, automatic, 4 dr.
110k miles

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
