Default Occasional High Idle

Just picked up a 93 5.0 Vert with 161k miles. I haven't much experience with Fords so I thought I'd ask here. Sometimes I'll push the clutch in to stop at a traffic light and it will idle @ 1500 rmp, 2000, or even once or twice it's idled at 2500. I thought it was a dirty TB but doesn't seem any different after cleaning. Any ideas? TIA.....Al

I had a idle problem that went real high and then dropped down and it came out to be the throttle boddy sensor

Since yours is EFI, this point is probably mute. But, I have noticed on mine '82 that I needed to change the spring on the throttle because it would sometimes not push the push itself all the way closed. Just an idea to check. I am not to familiar on the EFI's though
