where abouts under the hood was this plate?

I was just thinking, there is no adjustment in the idle on our trucks (the computer controlled ones, not sure about the carburated ones). The IAC soley controls the idle, so you should let that one sit as "it is what it is."

i wasnt looking into increasing or decreasing the idle, i was just curious what the official idle for my 3.9 is. but what you said couldnt be true enough
