Chances are that you have the composite (plastic) intake manifold. They were recalled by ford. The updated design has a metal crossover/ thermostat housing. I doubt if your vehicle would be covered but look into it. You will need to replace the manifold. If you do replace the heater hose that runs under it. while your at it.

Good luck and let us know. :)
