Default problem

i have a 1990 dakota 4x4 3.9L. i can pres the clutch in and it revs up a little over 20000 rpms and when i let off the clutch my truck starts going as if i was pressing in my accelerator. i can shift into gears fine but it revs really high when i'm stopped and the clutch is in.

Welcome to DodgeForum!

Sounds like a problem with the idle air controller. I think on the pre-magnum engines it was called a throttle kicker solenoid? Anyway, check into replacing that.

You don't even have to replace it. What you can do is there is a bolt looking thing attached to a little motor near the throttle linkage. The bolt rests on the linkage and contols the idle air (as 95_318SLT said). With the truck running, turn the bolt until the idle starts coming down and have it settle around 700 RPM. That should fix your problem
