My car is 97 civic, when I stuck in traffic for more than 5 or 10 mins, the
idle speed will be rised up to 1500-2000rpm from normally 600-700rpm, and
this only happend in summer, hot days! I never faced this problem in winter
or other seasons.
When I get out from the traffic and everything will back to normal and
feels good.
Did anybody get the same experience?
Thanks!

Sounds like you might be over heating. Check and make sure your radiator fan
is working.
