the 03 and up DBW trucks have a very common issue of poor idle and misfires sometimes caused by carbon build up on the back of the throttle blade. it doesnt have a iac to control idle situations so any build up causes it to run poorly.

if you keep the throttle down all the time it wont have a chance to build up.

you need to stomp on it once in a while, driving all proper and "good" will gunk it up
