The ABS are kicking in when they are not supposed to. They check them and are 35% used and work fine.

They notice that the RPM was not going back to idle normally. You push it at 3-4K and then release the gas, the RPM does not comback to idle normally. Its take like 2 seconds and could even reincrease a little bit and then go below 1K. Once idle, the engine run fine.

The computer does not report any problems and has been reprogrammed. The garage suggested to replace the computer.

Note: I did not go to a Ford dealer.

Check to make sure there is no dirt build up on the stator or the ABS sensors at the wheels. As far as the idle, if it goes to normal within a couple seconds and isn't causing problems or safety concerns, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Let me know about the ABS. As far as the computer, I would think it is fine. (Don't fix it if it isn't broken.)
