The battery was replaced and started fine but when went to drive there was no acceleration. The 4x44 check engine and vcs light are on. Parts store ran the codes and said 2 sensors came up. They reset then but didn't help.

I I don't know the exact codes they didn't print them. I took the battery off for an hour reconnected it and let it idle for an hour as I read this may work. After that I tried driving it for about half an hour and it didn't help.

Turned out the throttle body fuse blew. It wasn't in the main fuse panel so that's why I couldn't locate it. Since the fuse blew it couldn't progress on the "re-learning" cycle. Thanks for the help and advice though.
