Hi, I have a 94 3.9 L dak sport, and I know that it is not the same as the
4.7L but when I go slower or come to a stop the idle does go lower, just in
the winter though, are you in a cold part of the country? I dont know how
much I helped, also I t might be the copper plugs, but I doubt it. I think
it is just the cold weather,
