Actually, it sounds like the Idle Air Control valve to me. I had the same problem, but could hold the gas pedal down just a wee bit and it ran fine. The IAC is about $40-$45 at Autozone and fairly easy to replace on the Duratec. There's a little threaded stop that my throttle bracket stops against. I just gave it a turn or 3 (effctively keeping the gas pedal down a bit) and drove it like that for several weeks with no problems. I changed the IAC and haven't had a problem since (6 mos. now) My .02
