2003 T-Bird Idle Issue After Warm-Up

[Chances R]

After driving to run errands, when I stop and come back after 20-30 minutes, my car idles rough for a minute or two. If I apply gas, it seems to work itself out. What could be causing this? I recently had and oil leak fixed and the coils replaced by Ford - ugh! I only have 38,000 miles on this vehicle.
