I have to address the dirty throttle body suggestion.
Ford introduced a new design throttle body around 1992. There was a TSB regarding cleaning throttle bodies. The re-designed throttle bodies have a sticker on them that is usually found under the air intake duct where it attaches to the throttle body warning to not clean it.
My personal experience: I had a 1993 Taurus that I bought used. It had a tendency to race up for no reason. Had to turn off the engine and restart it to get it back to a normal speed. Other times, it would stall out for no apparent reason. Apparently, the throttle body had been cleaned before I owned it. I ended up replacing the throttle body. After that, it ran perfectly. I drove it for several years after and had no further problems.
Also had a friend come to me with a 1995 Windstar that would stall and not idle right. This one turned out to be the PCM. Only time I ever saw that.
My career spanned about 25 years or so working in Ford dealers as a class A service tech. I have been to MANY manufacturer's training schools. If I only learned ONE THING in those schools, it is that we are NOT smarter than the people that designed and built these vehicles.
So, I strongly recommend that you do NOT clean the throttle body based on what I have just told you. However, it is your truck, and you are free to do whatever you want with it. I only try to advise what I know to be proper procedure as far as servicing Ford vehicles.
