    Sounds like it could be the Idle Control Valve, on some moments I found starting my Focus, it would rev a little more (maybe up to 1250) then dropped down to normal rev rate within 10 seconds or so! replace the ICV as I dont think they are that expensive and its most likely the one that will fix this for you!

    It may also be a vacuum leak. I had a similar problem on my MKII mondeo. It was revving high when braking while engine warm. Then it would go down to normal level and sometimes stall completely, so i had to restart the engine. Problem was related to a vacuum leak. Had my car in for the APK(Dutch version of MOT) and they also replaced the vacuum hose as it was leaking. After this the idling issue was gone.
