I have a Dodge Ram 1500, 4.7 LT. V8. When I put the truck in park after driving, it idles up and down continuously and also when I start it up cold sometimes too. What could this be? Also, I want to change the oil myself to save some money, but I can't locate the drain plug.

Check the idle air control motor/valve and the throttle position sensor-
