Look for throttle recalibration procedure and try that. Could be a vacuum leak. Could be a bad throttle position sensor. Those are possiblities.

For starters, he's only got the V6 so no drive by wire = no throttle calibration. Secondly the vehicle is cold, does it idle like that after it's been running for a while or only when you first start it?

Fred, you need to take things more lightly man. I've seen a few posts where you take things said in a joking manner a insy winsy bit too seriously.

You said since its "only a V6" it doesn't have drive by wire. By saying only a V6 you make it sound weak. Though it is weak compared to the HEMI, its not a weak engine.

So a V6 owner just felt like joking about that comment. Followed by a emoticon to express his joking manner.
