Message:
Ok here is the situation, a few months ago my truck started to have a problem idling at start until the engine was stone cold. If I let the tuck set over night then It would start and idle just fine but if I left work for lunch then I would have to play with the accelerator to keep the truck running, my dealer told me it was a bad idler so I get a new one from NAPA and had it installed, that worked for about a week, so I took it back and got another, it lasted about a month, I asked a mechanic about it and he told me that napa make crappy idlers and to get one from dodge, so I did, 2 weeks ago and last week it started doing the exact same damn thing? Any ideas? Anybody? Could my truck me some how making these things go bad? I have no idea and will appreciate any advise,,,,,,,,thanx

I think you mean the IAC. They generally just get dirty and need cleaning.
