NEED AN ANSWER< QUICK!!!
I just installed some new low beam head-lamps in my '00 Bird. I disconnected the battery, when I started it back up, it's acting real weird. It sounds like it's trying to stall, floats around 500 rpms. Is this normal after disconnecting the battery and reconnecting?

Its normal. Let it run a minute, then restart it. Your PCM is re-learning itself, that's all. After a couple driving cycles, it'll be back to normal.
Unless you forgot to add the proper amount of blinker fluid to that new headlight.

Here's the pcm relearn procedure;
PCM Idle Learn Procedure:
Anytime the PCM or the battery is disconnected, the PCM loses power or the PCM is reprogrammed, the PCM’s learned idle position is lost.
Perform the following procedure to return the learned idle to the correct position:
Automatic Transmission:
1 Turn off the ignition
2 Restore the PCM battery feed
3 Turn Off the AC controls
4 Set the parking brake and block the drive wheels
5 Start the engine
6 Allow the engine coolant temperature to reach 176 degrees F
7 Shift the transmission selector into the drive range
8 Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes
9 Turn on the AC controls (Omit for 2000-02 model)
10 Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes (Omit for 2000-02 model)
11 Shift the transmission selector into Park
12 Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes (Omit for 2000-02 model)
13 Turn off the AC controls (Omit for 2000-02 model)
14 Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes
15 Turn off the engine for 15 seconds
Manual Transmission:
1 Turn Off the ignition
2 Restore the PCM battery feed
3 Turn Off the AC controls
4 Set the parking brake and block the drive wheels
5 Transmission in neutral
6 Start the engine
7 Allow the engine coolant temperature to reach 176 degrees F
8 Turn on the AC controls (Omit for 2000-02 model)
9 Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes (Omit for 2000-02 model)
10 Turn off the AC controls (Omit for 2000-02 model)
11 Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes
12 Turn off the engine for 15 seconds
If a new PCM is installed, you must perform the CKP (Crankshaft Position Sensor) System Variation learn. If you need that information, I will add it at a later time.
