Most newer cars and trucks engine computers need to "re learn " how to idle after having the battery disconnected. You do this by starting the engine and allowing it to idle for 5 - 10 minutes without revving the engine. It will eventually learn on it's own if you do not follow this procedure , it just takes a little longer.
Don
Has it had a chance to relearn its idle since disconnecting the battery cables ?
Computer reset
Its unlikely that it is related to getting a new battery. Make sure that during the process of replacing the battery that any emissions hoses or wiring were not disturbed or disconnected.
I meant to say "even after" replacing those parts.
It may need replacing or it can be the alternator is overcharging the battery. Have the charging system checked out. The alternator should output from 13.5 to 15.5 volts with the engine running at idle.
Alternator needs replacing.
Idle speed is not adjustable. It is controlled by the engine copmuter. If your idle speed is too high or low you have a problem with a sensor or the idle air controll actuator. Also, a weak battery can cause the idle too be erratic
This is computer controlled
I believe you need to drive it so the ECM relearns it's idle.
There is none. It is electronic. Try replacing the idle motor.
Just happened to me too, 3 year battery was 3 years and 3 m. old, tightened the alt. belt that helped but still idles at about 600 rpm. Ran well before the battery went,
My MX3 1993 idle dropped to almost stalling point when I stepped on the brake. After replacing the batter this problem disappearred and has so for 2 months now. There was no indication i needed a battery when i was driving it daily,however after leaving it sit for 5 days when I went to start it there was little juice to fire it up. By replacing/disconnecting the battery it reset the computer and I have not had an issue since...worth a try. Chuck
