Clean the Throttle Body w/t-body cleaner. Simple and cheap to do. Also worth a shot. Fords are notorious for that. GM, not so much but it sounds like your problem.

I dont think i have EVER managed to read one of your threads without getting a splitting headache. Psssssst, the . button and the , button are very valuable tools.....give them a try for christs sake, and good luck fixing your car!

You might want to do a tune up. It could be a ignition problem.
