You could have a problem with the idle air control motor, throttle position sensor, and sometimes even the vehicle speed sensor. On air conditioned vehicles this sometimes happens during stop and go traffic because the computer is sensing your engine is running warmer then it is supposed to, so it's increasing coolant flow thru the engine to try to cool it down.

sounds like the IAC (idle air control valve) is sticking. sometimes you can clean the throttle body out with spray cleaner and take care of the binding pintle in there, but unfortunatly, the majority of the time it will need to be replaced. can get it from a local parts store.........

Check the cable it might be sticking .. use WD40 spray on under the gas pedal and the other end of the cable which is connected to carb

try to remove the pos cable for 5 min and allow the computer to reset if any repairs have been recently made, and if concen comes back possibly a sensor, or even a calibration concern in the pcm. need to have reprogrammed at dealer only though.

Your accelerator cable can be oiled by a pro that knows what he is doing. Take it to a Ford dealer. It could be that the accelerator cable needs to be replaced. Get them to try oiling it first though.

dirty throttle body! clean the throttle plate and bore with carb cleaner and a toothbrush. done. dont mess with any adjustment screws, and dont spray the cable with wd-40.
