Really sounds like the IAC to me......Mine (Wife's) Escape was doing the same thing

My buddy gave it(IAC) a RAP with a wrench while it was acting up....Straightened right up!

Then, since we figured that had to be the problem, we removed it and cleaned it....My buddy is a paid mechanic for the state of S.C. he said it would be fine.

I felt better about it, by replacing it anyway, it was less than I expected, and EZ to change

My "Cup Of Tea" is the Jeep CJs....I answer there a lot.

Hope this helps you
