Check the hoses to the Intake Manifold Runner Control solenoid.

Answer 2

There is most likely a broken plastic bushing that holds the rods from the actuator in place. It is located on the back of the intake manifold and can be seen with a mirror. You may need to remove the intake to do the repair though. The parts are available from a ford dealer.
