Mine had the same problem. It was the Idle air control valve. This was on a 98 24 valve Dohc taurus. It sits on top of the intake manifold. Right there on top. Very easy to change. My uncle owns a parts store, and he said that the this thing goes bad a lot on these cars. He was right. That was the problem. You can hit it with a hammer, and it will probably run fine for a while until it sticks again. It was 45 bucks or so from autozone and a little over 100 bucks from the ford dealership. Not saying this is your problem, but it could be. There are lots of other possibilites.
