this a ford lemon problem. it has to do with your elctronically controlled throttle assembly. it's usually expensive to try and fix. so if car runs ok, you could ignore it until it dont? get codes read to find out what is suspect exactly.

A common fault, EAC (Electronic ACCELERATOR CONTROL) This car uses a drive by wire throttle (not a cable).
Disconnect the throttle pedal wiring loom spray all contacts with a water dispersant spray, (WD40), unhook battery for 2 mins then reconnect, go for a road test min 5 miles normal driving and motorway driving
if you have a warning message or engine warning light on you must get them turned off, start here.

This can be a poling starter motor, or a bad earth or power connection, have all connections checked first.
