the base idel screw in on the bottom of the throttle body.. there should be a cap over it

While there is a screw, it is more properly an idle stop screw, more than an idle adjustment screw; since the idle is controlled electronically by the SMEC (Single Module Engine Control) through the AIC (or AIS) valve mounted on the Throttle body. The screw that our friend refers to, is used in the factory to crack open the butterfly or throttle plate, but it should not be further adjusted. Instead, find the cause why Idle is not between 700-900 RPM. Possible causes are a dirty AIC valve, or an sticking one; or a wiring intermittent contact at the AIC valve connector; or a cracked insulation on the engine speed sensor, or even a failing throttle position sensor.

Idle speed is set by the PCM and is not adjustable. The screw you are fiddling with is just the stop screw to adjust the initial throttle plate position, it should not be used to attempt to adjust the idle.

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.
