Default Sporatic running rich and idle drops to 500rpms occasionally

Hello everybody,
I recently bought an 08 Ram 1500 4x4 5.7 hemi. I have no engine codes or lights on, but occasionally when i come to a stop, the rpms drop down to 500 and its actually stalled once and took a minute to get it restarted like it was flooded. Im new to dodge, i automatically assumed a tps sensor, but it looks like dodge doesnt have one. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance..

I believe the tps is built in to throttle body, I would suggest trying to clean throttle body but research proper way to do that as I have never cleaned mine as it was replaced just before I bought truck
