Have the codes read at your local auto parts for free. This will give you some ideas where to start. I found several threads on www.focusfanatics.com where other owners are having similar issues. Turns out that theirs was caused by a sticking idle air control valve (IAC). Problem solved by them replacing the IAC. Note that a faulty or dirty IAC will not always throw a code. Hope this helps.
