2001 ford expedition 5.4
Good afternoon this morning my truck started running fine no problems I allowed it to warm up for 15 min. started off to work and within 5 miles my trucks idle went from 1500 to 4000 constant and would not lower. I went out for lunch and the idle was fine for my 20 min. lunch drive. What might the problem be.
