You could check the Idle Air Control valve. May need cleaned or replaced. Go to fordfuelinjection.com for instructions on how to do it.
Good luck.

From: metro detroit area...
you can use carb cleaner, but its more of a temp. fix... cleaned mine three weeks ago, ran good for a while, then replaced it this past monday. advanced auto parts had one for about forty bucks. how long since the last tune up? fuel filter good? a partial clog in the fuel filter could possibly cause this issue also.
