Default Low Idle 94 Dodge Dakota Sport

I own a 1994 Dodge Dakota Sport V6 with ~112k miles. The truck idles around 200 to 400 rpm consistently. I assume it should be idling around ~700rpm. Suggestions?

Lol, well despite all that info, theres nothing you can do but put in a new IAC and reset the computer. We have no control over the idle of our trucks, the computer does all the work.

Ive read some other theads before with people saying there trucks run at 200-400 but how do they run while doing so, like does it shudder and/or have excelleration delay or something if you floor it from idle, how do they idle?

Idle can vary from 200- 700. Lots of variables like how hot, engine load, altitude, engine efficiency, tons of variables. Low idle at 200 (Under good conditions) don't studder.

What about excelleration delay, you dont want to be stopped and gun it and flood the engine or something and have it stall because of it running that low
