first place i would check is the throttle position sensor, also the idle air control sensor (iac) also clean your mass air flow sensor (maf) with some maf cleaner to see if that helps

I would also consider checking for vacuum leaks.

I second this. Vacuum leaks will make the engine idle high, or vary up then down depending on the leak.

My 2006 3.5 flex is idling high too. Can't wait to see how this thread turns out.
