Pontiac Firebird 1967-2002 - Change the battery now idle sux

I had the battery out of my car for 1 day until i purchased a new one and now with the new one the idle is not right and feels like it wants to stall. Is it going through the whole learn routine because i had the battery out so long :confused: ? The idle was good before i removed the battery.

Thanks

had to change my battery in my 01 ws6. it idled like crap after battery replacement. I just turned the key on (no crank) for about 1 minute. turned key off for about 5 minutes and then cranked, car idles perfect now.

it doesnt have anything to do with how LONG the battery was removed...its just the fact that it was disconnected. itll learn itself out before long, just give it some time. try just turning the key over like 01ws6 said

I found an article about the re-learn procedure. I will also try the key on only too.

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


Thanks
