After you get the SCT, get it touch with Lito for a tune, and your regrets will disappear. http://www.tudyno.com/

I would try swapping your throttle body out. I had this issue not too long ago and turned out to the the Idle Air Control Valve, which is located on the throttle body. What you're describing sounds like this issue exactly. Best of luck!
Whatever it is, its a heavy hunk of metal!
It's the BBK Blackout CAI:

The aluminum intake tube is quite heavy so make sure there's an airtight seal around the collar between the tube and the throttle body. Otherwise even a small air leak can cause idle issues.
Since your car came without a handheld tuner, the PO may have installed the CAI and left it either with a stock or an unknown aftermarket tune. Therefore I suggest you do the following:
1. Buy an SCT X4 tuner. It'll come with various canned tunes including one for the BBK CAI, but a custom tune by a performance shop like Brenspeed would be preferable. They provide the options of 87, 91, and 93 octane tunes.
2. Ask your nearest Ford stealership to check if the car has an aftermarket tune. If so, you'll need to have the ECU reflashed with a stock tune. If it's already stock, you're good to go.
3. Upload your preferred BBK CAI tune from the SCT X4 to your ECU. The SCT will store your stock tune thus allowing you to return the ECU to stock at any time.
Go to your Ford dealership & order that part. Costs around 10-12 bucks when I ordered mine. Only place you can get this w\o having to buy the entire BB assembly..................Ok, good! Ill get that replaced asap!! Thanks. I was hoping some others would snap a pic of what their car has there too!
Just called napa, they cant even get that plastic part
ok, will do! What did your car do with a broken valve? My brakes work great, so Im not convinced this is the fix all find yet....Go to your Ford dealership & order that part.

Been there, done that.
Found a vacuum leak in it thru running a smoke leak test back in 1-20 (someone put something hot against it & burnt a VERY small hole in it....was like that when I bought the car but wasn't noticeable until I ran smoke test).ok, will do!

ok, thanks, Ive listened to alot of vids and never hear it there, Ill get ahold of lito and pray he can cure it.As I mentioned before, the RPM hang between shifting is normal on the Throttle by Wire. Nature of the beast. It can be corrected with a custom tune.
