Its 2000 S.. I replaced the battery today because the cracking power was very weak so I doubt that has anything to do with it? My car doesn't get driven much maybe ever couple of weeks it comes out. No engine night. The car runs great its just when you stop the idle is up and down weird.

That is what caused the idle fluctuation. Disconnecting the battery deleted the correct setting from the DME. The DME will eventually relearn the correct setting. To speed it along, try this:

1. Turn the key to the on position, but don't crank the starter for one minute.
2. Turn the key to the off position for 10 seconds.
3. Start the car and take it for a drive.

The fluctuation may not end immediately, but it will be gone in a day or two.
