Use the stuff called thottle body cleaner. If this one has an IAC, pull it out & clean the IAC passages.

some say not to use carb cleaner because, i think its FORD(maybe others too), uses some type of coating on the inside of the TB or on the throttle blade and the carb cleaner "could" damage or dissolve that coating...
