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.
