From the driver's side fender, look at the carburetor. Near the bottom and towards the back, you will see two small Phillips-head screws. The upper (SAS1) and lower (SAS2) both control idle speed. LEAVE THE LOWER ONE ALONE!!!
Start the truck and let it warm up to operating temperature. You'll need a tach that is visible from the engine compartment--I got mine at Sears for like $30. Anyway, the factory spec for warm idle is 700 +/- 50 RPM. Use the screwdriver to turn SAS1 (the upper of the two idle screws) until your tach shows revs in that range. That's it, you're done.
To adjust the idle on a 1995 Dodge Ram, locate the throttle body and find the idle adjustment screw. Start the engine and let it warm up to operating temperature. Turn the idle screw clockwise to increase the idle speed or counterclockwise to decrease it, checking the RPMs with a tachometer as you adjust. Make sure to adjust it within the manufacturer's specified idle RPM range for optimal performance.
Idle speeds can vary from 500 to 1200 rpm
To adjust the carburetor on a 1975 Dodge D100, first ensure the engine is warm and running. Locate the idle speed screw and the mixture screws; adjust the idle speed screw to set the desired RPM, typically around 600-800 RPM in neutral. Then, use the mixture screws to achieve the best idle quality by turning them in or out until the engine runs smoothly. Always make small adjustments and test the engine's response after each change.
Adjust your idle.
To adjust the two-barrel carburetor on a 1972 Dodge pickup with a 360 engine, start by ensuring the engine is warm and idling. Adjust the idle mixture screws gradually, turning them in or out until you achieve the highest RPM at idle, then set the idle speed to the recommended specification (usually around 600-700 RPM). Finally, check for smooth acceleration and make minor adjustments as necessary. Always refer to the service manual for specific tuning guidelines and specifications.
The computer will hold it between 600 and 900 rpm.
The proper idle speed for a Dodge with a 318 cubic inch engine about 475 to 500 RPMs. Any idle below that will cause stalling.
700 rpm
If it is and automatic transmission the idle will be at about 900 RPM and is not recommended to be adjusted but can be adjusted at the trottle position sensor (TPS) located just abouve the air heater intake on the driver side. If the truck is a manual transmission the idle should be in between 700 and 850 RPM and is not recommended to be adjusted but again can be at the TPS.
