2003 dodge ram 5.7L intermittently has a rough idle and an idle rpm of 500 I think the normal is 650. When I put it in gear the idle picks up and smooths out. Sometimes it will do this in gear and stall or almost stall as if running out of gas.If I turn it off and restart most of the time it doesn't happen. It also throws a O2 sensor code and check engine light which comes on and resets. This has been replaced, no change. Throttle body has been cleaned. Out of ideas. ???

Okay, the o2 code can cause problems, theres a problem with one of the o2 sensors, theres 2 or 4 sensors,the repair was not done right or theres another bad o2 sensor, next thing i would check is the idle air control motor,this sounds like it sticks at time or just stops working,start with these things first,

Idling is too slow at 500 rpm.......think about at least 650 rpm to charge the battery and keep up inertia for better take-off power.
Find out how to increase rpm,whether it's a screw-stop adjustment or a timing problem. don-ohio (:^)

My son has a Dodge Ram 1500 pickup with a 5.7 Litre Hemi. It has started idling really rough - only about 500 rpm's when it is usually higher. When he steps on throttle it hesitates before it kicks in. ...

pump is in the tank, and from what i've looked at the pump and filter are one in the same, but i'd get under it and look on the fuel line/s to see if there's a filter there, it should look like a metal can.

06 DURANGO HEMI, ROUGH IDLE WITH AC ON

I have a durango R/T 5.9, but with any car you buy especially like one's with big block V8 any time you turn on the ac your vehicle will lose power as well as consume more fuel hence you vehicle has to idle at a higher RPM.

2006 ram, 4.7L. idle speed is iratic on cold starts. rpm goes from 700 to 1500 and back again until I put it in gear. fuel milage has dropped by 2 mpg. this happened after I changed spark plugs (used oem...

Idle flare is normal on all newer fuel injected cars. I think maybe you got a little paranoid,probably first spark plug change done by you. Gas milelage is easily explained in 2 ways, one the gov't is making the gas companies put oxygenated fuel into the gas & 2 you could go with a set of bosch oxygen sensors,pick up 15% more gas mileage

Engine runing rough

This code is most likely not related to the problem, it sounds like you may have picked up some contaminated gasoline, maybe has water in it or other like dirt.
