Changing the idle on a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 is somewhat easy to do, and should only take about 15 to 20 minutes. To begin, You will need a #25 torx screwdriver. Changing the idle involves opening the throttle plates with the purpose of setting the rpms to 500. Use Your screwdriver to remove the set and throttle screws. They are covered by a short, metallic tube. Once Your vehicle hits the expected 500 idles, simply turn the motor off, and plug in the idle control actuator. The idle is now changed, and You can replace the throttle plates and screws to their original positions.

To change the idle on the 2001 dodge ram 1500, you open (or close) the thottle plates to set the appropriate rpm (500). It takes the #25 torx screw driver and the set screw is attached to the thottle screw. It could be protected by a small metal tube. After 500 idles, shut off the engine and plug in the iac.
