When you reconnect the battery, you need to calibrate the e- gas throttle.
When the battery is connected, switch on ignition (dash lights on) but don't start the car. Leave ignition on for +/- 1 minute, switch off ign & remove key for +/- 10 seconds and then start car.
This will save time when the engine management system re-learns the throttle body calibrations.
