the high idle at startup could be your Throttle Position Sensor going out. Its located under the throttle body you need to take it off to replace it. All your symtoms point to that.

well the code reader is something you can use mutliple times and is an important troubleshooting tool. it will also help keep from throwing money at parts that dont need replaced.

If you're on a tight budget take the code reader back and read through that site. Get very familiar with it, LOTS of good info.

those code readers are only 30 bucks and money well spent in my opinion. the book that comes with the reader has the codes in the back. the fordfuelinjection site is awesome and has plenty of info. good reference
