88F150-5.0 EFI Cold idle problem

As a strickly do it myself repairmain and not familiar with EFI, I am having a cold start Idle problem with my 5.0. It will start, but will not idle properly until warmed up. I have always been a carb man but know little about EFI. After reading several threads about this problem, I think it lies in the Idle Air control valve but don't know where it is located.Is this a major repair? or can I do it myself? I am knowledgable and handy at do it myself repair and would like to attempt it myself before investing labour time at a shop. Any help would be appreciated.
