Arrow Check Engine Light Blinks 4 Times

I have a 95 F150, 302, 4x4, extended cab. When I let it sit for a while (~12+ hours) and start it cold, it will start, then idle very high (2000 RPM range) and the Check Engine Light (CEL) will blink 4 times, then, the gas will cut, the RPMS drop and just before the engine would choke it picks up and then idles normal.

I would say this last about 20 seconds. Again, once this is over the engine is fine and idles normal. I assumed the computer was trying to read or test fuel air ratios and locate a stable idle position, but this happens all of the time and is annoying. I've never had another fuel injection vehicle that does this.

So. What does it mean when the check engine light blinks 4 times?
