We have a 2001 Ford escape. It would idle horrible in the morning when it was cold, but would run much better when it warmed up. After a year of problems, cylinders misfiring ect, and part after part change, we finally changed the upper and lower intake gaskets and the problem seems to be fixed. Starts up good as new. The worn gaskets didn't seal properly causing the misfiring cylinders, but when the faulty gaskets warm up they expand causing it to seal better and that's why it would run better when warm. Anyway, it could be a bunch of different things, but this seems to be the problem for us. Several other forum members discussing same issue have also said it was the intake gaskets also. If you can fix it yourself you will save a load of money.
