I own a 1996 Dodge ram 1500 with a 318, The prolbem i have is cold weather starting,when i start it in the morning,and the temepetureis below freezing,it starts fine. The idle is running high when i let it run for a few minutes,then tap the gas again,it still runs at a fast idle even after temp is up to 200 ,and freeway speeds. This did not happen last winter? Could it be a temp sending unit? It is EFI ,I also lubed the throttle cable ,the engine has 41,000 miles on it if this helps,i know its out of warranty now. Before I take it to the dealer for inspection and repair has anyone had similar trouble? thank-you in advance for you much needed help and information, thanks again, -scott
