   That should work...when the IAC is carbed up (just dirty), they usually   
   respond well to a good cleaning.

   The 4.7L then, not the in-efficient combustion chambered hemi...it needs   
   two spark plugs (one fires on the extra stroke) to clean up the exhaust as   
   it is passed into the system.

   Be glad it's not the hemi with 16 spark plugs...
