Is your idle getting stuck really high or otherwise not behaving on your old Dodge Dakota? Your throttle kicker (IAC) may be to blame. The gears inside get stuck by old dried up grease and the electrical connections get carboned up.
Model years 1987-1990 with a throttle body and 239 (3.9L) V6 should have a throttle kicker. The 1987 model year came stock with a carburetor and had an optional TBI upgrade, so the carb version may not have a throttle kicker.
Towards the end of the video, I look for the actuator shaft to move in and out. I didn't notice until editing the video, but it does slowly sink back inside the throttle kicker over the course of a minute or two.
Apologies for the shaky cam and bad audio, my good camera has a dead unobtanium battery.
