Have you done a compression test? That should be first because if even one of the cylinders is low, then nothing else you do is going to fix it.

The van is now 7+ years old. You will need to clean the IAC ( Idle Air Control valve).
https://dodgeforum.com/forum/dodge-ram-van/68174-diy-how-to-clean-the-iac.html

If the cleaning isn't helping, then the IAC is bad and needs to be replaced. If replaced, you still need to clean the IAC port hole and the slot at the base inside the chamber.

As for a cap-n-rotor, be sure to use only copper/brass. The aluminum cheap-o ones are junk and rarely last between oil changes.
