I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY IT MIGHT BE THE THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN A FEW TIMES. MY MOMS EXPLORER NEEDED ONE. IT WOULD SOMETIMES DIE, DID WANT TO IDOL, AND SOMETIMES DIDN'T WANT TO START.

If it starts or stays running when pressing on the gas pedal just a bit, then it could very well be the IAC valve getting stuck.

if you mean drive by wire as in a cable form the pedal to the throttle body no it is not in the Ford ETC system, the PCM directly controls the position of the throttle plate by use of a DC motor as if a simple cable linking the gas pedal to the throttle plate was not good enough, engineers have now made that design complicated as well. Why do engineers do these things to us.... Ill just take it to a shop and pay $90.00 and let them tell me whats wrong lol .. I will let you guys know whats up thanks for all the input

My truck has done the same thing, mine is a 2000 though so the engine is a little different but for the most part they are the same. My best guess would either be the o2 sensor or the fuel system. The only is that if it was an o2 sensor it normally would set a code, but it could be working fine once it gets warmed up, I think mine has the same problem, I am also going to check the fuel pressure and see what it is running and with just the pump on.

your engines are not even close to being the same, 3v vs 2v drive by wire vs conventional,
yours sounds like an iac valve tap it with a hammer see if it smooths out
the 3v doesn't have an iac valve
