You're overlooking the most common cause of low idle. The battery was disconnected or run dead. Fuel trim numbers and other data will be relearned as soon as you start driving, but you have to meet a very specific set of conditions for "minimum throttle" to be relearned. Until that is done, you may have to hold the accelerator pedal down 1/4" for the engine to start and / or stay running, you won't get the nice idle flare-up to 1500 rpm at start-up, and it will tend to stall at stop signs.
To meet the conditions for the relearn to take place, drive at highway speed with the engine warmed up, then coast for at least seven seconds without touching the pedals.
