New Battery and now stalling
My battery recently died and I replaced it with the same Bosch 35 since it was under warranty. Ever since replacing it, my idle is extremely rough, slipping down to around 500rpm every single time the engine is revved, in which the car vibrates fairly rough. I took it around for a few blocks and stalled probably about 6-7 times when coming to a stop, then decided to just take it home for now.
Don't think its normal for it to stall like that after changing a battery...Any input?

Thanks for all the responses.
Yes, it was indeed simply just the ECU adjusting the fuel trims. I expected unstable idles, but didn't think it should have stalled. Which leads me to believe I may have some other issues as well. Probably time to get new coil/plug/wires as suggested as well. I'll try that first.

if i get a tune up will that cover the coils, plugs and wires? or would i need to ask them just to replace to 3 things?

The car is learning its air fuel ratio again. Every time you unplug the battery cables the ECU is reset. All you have to do is to drive the car 3-4 driving cycles (start the car, drive for a bit, turn off the car= 1 drive cycle). Do this for 3-4 times and the car will get back to normal. Plugs and coils should not give you trouble with idle but with performance (e.g. misfire, hard to start the car, power loss, etc).
