Typical of a dirty MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor.
Will also sometimes show as hesitation on acceleration.
Instructions for cleaning are on many ford sites..
But they are typically mis-informed like This guy:

I use rubbing alcohol and a new small paint brush.. though you may
follow his directions if it makes you feel better.
If you wonder who is right... he is 'Dan the Oil Man' I am BM the former
electronics engineer,

as they simply parrot Ford position on it.
