Does the ECU need time to figure things out, or is there something else I am supposed to do after swapping batteries? The engine idled fine before the change...

My wife's 2002 idle speed up this summer after a battery change it seems fine now.
YMMV.
Dont adjust anything and dont listen to the yahoos on the pointy board. Gabkwong (99 Sport) and I have both had this issue. Just drive it for a week or two and it will go back to idling correctly without making any adjustments.
Takes a bit for the drive readies to go through their checks. Nothing to worry about, it will be fine. There is a write up somewhere on how to get these done quicker, but you need a decent road with NO traffic to accomplish it. And to answer your question, yes it is the ECU doing its thing.
Ok, good deal. Thanks for the replies.
Well, it seems to be all sorted out now. I drove the car for the first time with the new battery this morning and the idle was all over the place. I drove the car to lunch and the idle was still unstable. But, driving the car back to the office after lunch, everything seems to be back to normal. I gues third times a charm...
