Ok so yesterday my alternator died. So it has been replaced. Now it idles like well shit. When i stop in gear it wants to die, when i start it it wants to idle up higher then normal and then settles down. I did the idle relearn thing and it didn't seem to accomplish anything. HELP!

Sure you did the idle relearn correctly??

 

I always find after I did the relearn it still wasn't 100%, but overtime it's figure itself out...by the sounds of it you didn't do the relearn properly though.

 

1. Pull ECM fuse, replace it after a couple seconds

2. Start car and put it in gear with all the accessories OFF

3. Hold it in gear for 5-7mins (I normally do 6 mins as a happy medium)

4. Shut off car after 6 minutes. (Ialways shut it off in gear, dunno if it matters)

5. Repeat steps 2-4 again.

6. Idle should be learned.
