I have a 2005 V6 Charger. She is idling at 500rpm. I am sure she needs to be at 800ish. She has an A/T and A/C. The idle is so low sometimes she stalls when stopped. Others times when I take off she has a horrible hiccup. If I take my time and go slow everything is fine. When at speed there are no problems and she purrs. How do I increase the idle speed. I want to ask y'all before I go in there and start tweaking screws. (I am assuming right now it is not a fuel pump or injector problem.)

I have looked on-line and I can't find any solutions, that is why I am here. You guys always seem to know.

First off, I can only assume you've scanned it for any codes right??

You CANNOT manually increase I do speed. Newer cars are 'screw with proof'.

You CAN however clean the T body and IAC stepper motor With carb cleaner .. Most times, if you don't have something like a vacuum leak, will fix low idle problems on Chryslers.

ECM controls idle speed...either IAC is bad, dirty, or you have another issue...put a scanner on it and read the data to see if anything is out of whack
