Clean out the idle air control, throttle body/plate and also look for vacuum leak-start here and let me know-also refer to this walk thru link: http://www.2carpros.com/articles/engine-idles-too-high

Use carb cleaner, small bore brushes and if available a vacuum gauge
5.0 Liter the IACV is located on the throttle body assembly see pic below

Thanks rasmataz ILL give it a try in the morning.
One thing i forgot to add, when it was running sometimes it idled fine, then about a month ago the idle started jumping up and down and wouldnt kick-down manually. once shut off and started up again it was usually o.k. for awhile then out of no-where it'd start jumping up&down again.
thanks again
