High idle levels (or rough idling) occurs when the engine is revving too fast when it is in park/neutral. The car may be louder than normal, or you may feel shaking (in more severe cases).

Why does my Dodge Ram misfire at idle?
This is most noticeable while the engine is resting at idle since this is when an engine typically requires more fuel to operate smoothly. The lean misfire condition is likely to disappear at highway speeds due to the more efficient flow into the combustion chambers.
Why is my Dodge Ram 1500 running rough?
Lean Misfire. Another common reason and typically missed diagnosis for a rough running engine is the lean misfire. In this case, the engine is receiving too much air and not enough fuel.

What kind of engine does a Dodge 318 have?
Electronic fuel injection finally came to the 318 (and the 3.9 V6 based on it) in the 1988 Dodge trucks (bu tnot cars). This was, in contrast to the Imperial’s system, quite conventional, with a single dual-injector unit in the throttle body (one injector for each bank). Power output rose by a much-needed 20% to 170 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque.
Do you need a core for a Mopar 318?
For one thing, if you already have a 318, it’s not “just as cheap” to build that 360. First, you’ll need to get a 360 core, which will set you back $250 or more. The 318 and 360 engines are balanced differently, so you’ll also need a new flywheel or flex plate and torque converter. Then there is fuel economy.
Which is better Mopar 340 or Mopar 318?
If you’re building for fuel economy, the 318 beats the Mopar 340 and 360, hands down. The 318 was produced in three versions: polysphere, LA series, and Magnum. Each are good engines, but for performance use, you should stick with the LA or Magnum because performance parts for the 318 Poly are hard to find.
