Changed Battery Car doesn't hold idle!
As title says the car does not hold idle after putting in a new battery (Red Optima). Do I have to reset the ECU? I have an 04 with 52,000 miles. Spark plugs, wires, and coils were changed at 40,000 miles. Any help is appreciated.

By putting in a new battery, you pretty much did an ECU reset. When you disconnected the old battery for more than a few minutes, it reset.
Car is re-learning the fuel trims so it might take a few drive cycles to settle down.
Don't freak out too much, give it a few drive cycles and then let us know if that doesn't cure it.

Everything worked fine! I drove the car around for a while. I did 3-4 drive cycles and the car seems now to be fine! Thanks a lot for your valuable input!
