Yeah probably just carbon buildup in his throttle body.

I had this on my 03 while it was in warranty and they replaced the throttlebody. I think there is something that vents nearby and can muck things up. I remember trying to clean the inner bore with no effects. You could try cleaning the throttle plate as mentioned above.

make sure that the little “set-screw” isnt set too shallow, that happened on mine after i bought it and it would make the throttle plate actually jam if i let off the throttle too fast. clean it out, check the set screw…and report back lol

Use some seafoam on that sucker.

Also some of the ford throttle body cleaner…
