bad idle following battery disconnect/reconnect

[Steve Tinker]

Try this...
Disconnect the battery again.
Touch the positive (+) cable to the chassis for a few second to discharge any capacitance in the system.
Reconnect the battery and switch on the ignition - but do not start the engine - leave ignition on for at least one minute.
Switch off ignition for at least 10 seconds.
Restart engine.
It may take several miles and about 3 - 4 heat cycles of the engine temperature to completely reconfigure the system.....

Steve,

Thanks for the advice, worked like a charm! running grreat this morning, everything seems to be reset
and the ignition is perfect. that was why i had it disconnected, to replace the lock assembly and switch.
