Where is idle adjustment 1996 dodge ram 5.9L V8?

The idle adjustment on a 1996 Dodge Ram 5.9L V8 isn't a single screw you turn like on older carbureted engines. Instead, the idle speed is controlled electronically by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). There's no easily accessible idle adjustment screw.

If your idle speed is too high or too low, the problem lies within the engine's computer system or related components, such as:

* IAC (Idle Air Control) valve: This valve regulates the air entering the engine at idle. A faulty IAC valve is a common cause of idle problems. It's usually located on the throttle body.

* TPS (Throttle Position Sensor): This sensor tells the PCM the throttle position. A malfunctioning TPS can cause incorrect idle speed. It's also located on the throttle body.

* MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor: This sensor measures the air pressure in the intake manifold. A bad MAP sensor can lead to idle issues.

* Vacuum leaks: Leaks in the vacuum system can affect the idle speed.

* PCM issues: Less common, but a problem within the PCM itself could cause an incorrect idle speed.

Instead of looking for an idle adjustment screw, you'll need to have a mechanic diagnose the problem using a scan tool to check for trouble codes and sensor readings. Attempting to adjust anything without proper diagnostic tools can lead to further damage.
