Either your intake tube is loose, MAF unplugged, or the IAC motor is bad.

DON'T KNOW IF THIS HELPS ? I KEEP MINE OUT SIDE AND TRY TOO KEEP A FULL TANK FOR THE WINTER, HIGH TEST 93+ OCTAINE. FIND AT YOUR PARTS SUPPLY SOME "BLASTER TVC" AND ADD ALL OF IT (BEFORE) YOU FILL UP...SO IT MIXES WELL..THIS WELL HELP CLEAN THE INJECTORS AND FUEL PASSAGES. THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 50 YEARS, AND IT WORKS ! ALSO, DRY GAS, MAY HELP ALSO, OR WITH IT......HOPE THIS HELPS YOU JOHN..TED:banana:

[BirchMarauder]

clean your throttle body. might be sticking.

[Blackened300a]

what is I A C MOTOR????

Idle air control motor. Its the silver cylinder with a black plug located on the throttle body


what is an M A F ....?

Mass air Flow, Its what your airbox is connected to with the rectangle plug.

[RoyLPita]

The IAC is on the Throttle body. It is easy to replace.

[Bradley G]

Idle air controller; got to be on the upper intake
Mass air flow sensor is upstream from your air box six wires going to it.

IAC might just be dirty. Take it off, spray it down really well with some carb cleaner and replace and see if it fixes the issue.

They make a spray product just for the MAF, be careful not to touch the fine wire that runs through the middle of the opening, (do a google on MAF, picture). Also the fuel filter can be a candidate, when did you change that last. Met a guy this week with the same symptoms, different ford product, hasn't changed his fuel filter in 142,000 miles. 'bout time.
