idle question
OK I wa swondring is there any way to turn the idle up on an 06 hemi?
last few yrs its been dropping, dealer had it for a few days off and on the past few yrs and gave up I think??
as its a random thing at times and m hard I gather to solve what is exactly the issue, or isue's!
I have done tune ups, plugs injector cleanings and so on!and other likely issue's
but idle continues to seem to drop, and at times stall at stop lights, maybe 6-7 times a yr
more so in winter, but all day today, its been idling at stop lights at about 150 RPM
just above stalling
its an older truck(to a point) and nt looking to stick a bunch of money in it if I can help it!
runs ok otherwise more or less(say this as I was triping ehck engine light , but was an 02 sensor and fixed that)
so?? is there a way to turn the idle up,
to make a simple fix for this issue??

that its NOT possible
but that didn't sit with me, such why I started this post
any idea on what tuners , brands/models would allow such a thing??
thanks again

What is the RPM? Does it bounce around? I think mine runs at around 600 RPM when its warm. If the RPM is holding steady then you are probably ok if the engine is stalling then you need to fix why its stalling. The idle speed is pretty much an emissions thing or running at the minimum amount the engine.

now that's strange. I have an 05 2500, 5.7L
I use a Diablo tuner on mine and it lets me basically et my idle wherever I want. For instance, I have it set to run 1000 rpm when the A/C is turned on.
I should also mention I have a stick in that truck so idle at stop lights isn't an issue

thanks
again
I had plans to clean the TB this week, just didn't get to it
BUT the dodge dealer, make that dealers, have done a cleaning several times and never helped
the idle RPM"S fluctuate
it will be at about 500-600 some times when warm, and sometime when warm it will be about 350 rpm and other times at about 150 RPM,. JUST above stalling
I have owned the truck since new back in 2006
it started doing this random idle issue back in about 2009
dealer ran all sorts of tests, then new plugs a tune up, replaced belt, cleaned Tb, cleaned injectors
replaced injectors, replaced air filters
02 sensors, and a few other things, they tried, and it never corrected it
some days coming to a stop, be a red light or traffic stop, and it would just idle so low, it would stall
it always started right back up, and then would run fine??
it would stall about 10-12 times a yr ever since
I tried to get them to replace the computer, but they refused to do so under warranty
and just more or less told me they had NO idea what was the problem
which lead me to a different dealer, who re did what they did, and then again, they gave up, which lead me to a third dealer
who re did what the first two did, and then I gave up for a few yrs, and just lived with it
and to be honest, it seemed to run OK more than not
then the past few weeks, its been acting up a lot, NOT stalling really, but dam close, I mean some times the RPM"S and just above where they would be with the motor off!
have to keep an eye on it at stops
as truck with the ac on or radio, I cannot tell it stalls , some times till I give it gas and nothing happens LOl
I also tried to get all 3 dealer to just raise the idle some, as I figured maybe a slightly higher idle would be a quick fix to the issue of stalling
and not really hurt anything, too
but all said they cannot do so!
so again, just lived with it
but it gets annoying some time;s watching it just about stall??
so thought I would ask again if its possible to raise. adjust the idle!
and if so how??
I will try again to clean the TB
just haven't had time yet or weather right when I do1, but will do and see, but not confident it will do anything really
I also have run sea fopam and other fuel treatments too, and no help
