Washed the motor and idled until dry. Sat overnight and starts but battery went low and barely started, then won't idle. Ran motor at 1500 RPM for a few minutes and charged the battery back to normal, still won't idle.
Thanks!

When battery is disconnected or very low vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Drivability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle
Take and drive it and if still have stalling issue
disconnect battery and clean throttle and idle air
