However, if I put the car in gear, either drive or reverse, it stalls. Recently replaced all coil packs, plugs and wires. Also the battery because the winter weather trashed the previous.

I would greatly appreciate any direction.

The clue is the battery was disconnected. Go out and drive the vehicle at highway speed with the engine warmed up, then coast for at least seven seconds without touching the pedals. That will meet all the conditions that must be met for "minimum throttle" to be relearned, then the computer will know when it has to in control of idle speed.

Thank you for the quick response. I will try this as soon as possible. However I have used the vehicle without issue prior for about two weeks. I’ll provide update after relearning the throttle.

Thank you again!
