Have you ever changed the spark plugs? If not start there if that doesn't take care of it remove and clean the MAF sensor located in the air filter housing. I hope this helps. Take care.
First thought: Check the idle air control valve, or whatever its Ford equivalent is. Sometimes these start to stick and cause the rough early idle that smooths out later.
you don`t say if you have checked anything so start with the plugs for condition and age as well as plug gap.then the ignition wires they may need changing.the engine compression can affect idle and give the impression its alright at higher speeds.fuel injectors if they are dirty can cause rough idle and run okay at higher speeds.just somethings to check
it sure sounds like you have an EGR problem. This valve controls the flow of unburned exhaust gases and re-routes them too the intake to be re-burned. This valve is usually open at highway or cruise speeds. Not usually open at idle. If this EGR valve is open at idle, you get a rough running for sure just like a mis fire and will smooth out as your speed increases. I would get that checked out and if faulty, replace. Please keep in mind that this part is quite expensive new, but it is electrically controlled. good luck!
Just trowing some suggestions out there, but, I would check the idle air control valve (solenoid) or the throttle position sensor. If they check out then my last guess would be the map sensor or the vaccuum to the map sensor. Hope I was able to help. Best wishes.
