my trucks battery died after leaving the radio on for a few hours. i charged it up and it turned over, but didnt stay idling. the air idle motor was bad. we replaced it and then battery was charged, but then when i turned it over again, it still wouldnt idle. i checked the fuses and they are fine. what could the problem be?

Has the check engine light come on? Also, have you checked for vacuum leaks?

Let me know.
