Is this only when the engine is cold? If so that is normal.

I had the same issue - except it was ALL the time. I made it MUCH better by replacing braided ground straps underneath each door on my 1997 Ford Ranger V6 4.0. The ground straps had completely corroded. It was causing error codes for the hot air sensors as well.
