Warm weather...high idle

Last summer I noticed that when it was warm and I was in stop-and-go traffic, or if I let my car run idling for a while, my idle would jump to 1100 (in park or neutral). It didn’t do it all winter and now that the weather is warming up its doing it again. I get no dummy lights (codes) and every time it happens I try to get to the dealer to have them check it, but it always drops before I get there. It doesn’t seem to effect the way the car runs or accelerates, its more of an annoyance. Anyone else have this happen?

Yes, the car idles a little high when first started (cold) as normal. But this happens when the car is up to running temperature.

No way. I'm sure someone with expertise can help you out. Maybe IACV?
