The truck has an intermittent high idle problem. When slowing down, (either by downshifting the manual transmission or coasting to a stop), the engine will sometimes idle at 1500 RPM rather than the nominal 700-800 RPM. If I don't come to a complete stop (like when turning onto my street), the idle will remain high trying to make the truck go faster. If I do come to a complete stop (like at a stop sign), the engine will idle down the second I come to a complete stop. I am concerned about not only my but others safety as the truck tries driving faster than I want when the idle is high. I have taken the truck to several dealers who have performed many services to the truck in an attempt to diagnose and solve the problem but to no avail. I have replaced numerous sensors on the truck with original ford equipment but again no improvement. I have contacted ford directly but all they tell me is to take the truck to my ford dealer. I am out of options as the ford dealer cannot seem to diagnose this problem and along with it my concern for safety.

I was driving home on the interstate when traffic stopped ahead of me. It was raining pretty hard and I was not able to stop and I hit a minivan that was in front of me. (there were 40 - 50 other vehicles involved in this incident, but my piece of the greater wreck only involved myself and the minivan.) I do not know how fast I was going when I made contact, but it was fast enough to cause $16,000 of damage to the front end of my truck. The impact mostly went above the bumper, pushing the grill into the front of the engine causing everyhing in front of the engine to be replaced along with replacement of the motor and transmission mounts. Neither the driver or passanger airbag deployed. I was wearing my seatbelt, so I was not at all injured, but I was very surprised that a significant inpact like I experienced did not set off the airbag. Are there any general guidelines for when the airbags should deploy?
