Default High Rpms

when i first start the car idleing its around 6-9 rpms but after i have been driving it for a while it seems to be geting higher when idleing 10-12. i dont even need to give it gas and i can let me clutch out and it wont kill the car. im having clutch problems so im taking it in to get the clutch looked at. but could this be something like cleaning the throttle body or somthing? any thoughts? maybe clean the throttle body with like carb cleaner or somthing

look at your throttle body to see if the line is obstucted. otherwise i would look for it to throw a code. sometimes at inital start my car will stay at 1000-1100. just for about 20 secs.
