Day two, just above freezing temp. 35 degrees ambient temp.
No issues at all.
Yes, I too had started having mixed feelings of even going out and buying the gasket set, due to all of the confirmed problems with idle, due to the PCM.
So, I just reasoned that it wouldn't hurt to have new gaskets, and just a few hours of labor.
Most importantly, my wife was very happy.
One day when I get a day off, I am going to go to the Ford dealership and ask them to run my VIN #, see if I qualify. There are just to many reported cases to just avoid it totally.
Thanks for the input.
-idling fine.

update

Just would like to put an update:
One week (5 days) after the replacement gaskets and sparkplugs,
the idle is still staying normal. The ambient temperatures have been below freezing when starting motor.
Thanks.
