Hey all -- 2000 Explorer Sport, 96,000 miles, 5 speed manual and OHV engine. The idle speed hangs up around 1500 rpm often when coasting or idling, even when the engine is warm. Sometimes when just idling and not moving the idle speed will drop to about 800 RPM after a few seconds. What could be causing this?

Thanks.
