Rob,does it act like it wants to stall ? if yes chk the IAC valve it could be dirty .

also a number of things can cause engine misfire
cop's -coil on plug
masf -mass air flow sensor
air temp sensor
and a bunch of other sensors
plus fuel injectors or fuel pressure/fuel filter
you scanned it ? ,by your post I take it you did an, noticed nothing else wrong.

What about engine misfire/ cylinders ?

no i havent put a scan tool no yet , when the fuel pump went a while back the ford dealer in town raped us with a huge bill replaced a coil unit and truck ran the same.
we had to replace the fuel pump twicewhich ran real good for some time but now only idles rough cold???? and no check eng. light is comming on. so it must not be computer controlled, or a sensor out of range???
what would control eng. idle,timming on start up??? and then allow it to run smooth when warm??
