Default spoolin alt relocation now low idle

just like the title. i just got my alt relocation bracket and now the idle is at about 600. sounds like its about to stall. havent touched anything but alt wires for the relocation. the ecm will bring idle up to about 900 after a min but small rev and the idle drops back down. whats up? what did i do wrong? any suggestions?

Did the kit come with some kind of extra wire to move alt? Or did it come with a new plug? The manufacturer could have mixed the wires up in the connector. I actually had a problem with my hot wire kit where it was wired backwards. If not maybe it is a amp thing? Battery is already getting more Amps than it should which is causing the alt to slow down and maybe causing the lower rpms? Is there a way you can post more info on the kit so we can read what it all entails.

thanks guys for the help but. actually the car fixed itself. im assuming its because i removed egr and air system. after a few more starts the ses light came on with those codes and the idle was fixed.
