When the battery is disconnected for more than 10 min. (I think) and then reconnected, the computer "resets" itself.
We took my g/f Taurus to the garage to have the water pump replaced and it idled like crap and stalled sometimes when we got it back. I was thinking "what the hell...?"
I figured the computer needed to reset itself and would get better in a few hours. It worked.
When I read your post, I thought about the Taurus and was thinking maybe you had the same problem.
