Mine idles at 750 or so. It has been the same since I got the truck, and I have replaced the TPS and the IAC, twice. With mopar genuine parts.

welp when i popped the hood i noticed the hose coming off the side of my cai was bent/pinched i fixed that and im hoping that was the reason it was choking out. i also seafoamed it 1/3 can in the booster line 1/3 can in the crank case 1/3 can in the gas tank. it didnt smoke very much but i took it on the freeway after and drove the **** out of it. seemed to accelerate better and when sitting at a red light the idle was smooth as heck. it seems like the idle in park is a lot better now too, i still feel small vibrations but it is nothing compared to what it was
