I have a 97 Hond Accord I just bought and it was idling at 1500 rpm standing still in park. You can adjust the idle by adjusting the throttle cable at the throttle body. There is two nuts on each side of the bracket, loosen both and slide cable until you reach 900 to 1000 rpm range or if you want higher idle adjust it up. If that doesnt fix it check for a vacuum leak. They will also cause your engine to idle higher.

a 98 Honda civic should not have a carburetor. it is a fuel injected vehical. in this case there might be a screw that you can adjust the idle with. have someone watch the engine as you pump the gas. the engine can be off when you do this. they will show you the arm, of lever that moved. when it sits all the way down (gas pedal off all the way) it will stop on a screw. turning it right = idle up, turn left (counterclockwise) = idle down. but mostlikely everything is all electric and a shop will have to adjust it with a computer.
