Ok so it started out when I got to the gas station today after work, I go in and come back out go to crank the car up and it turns over once and wouldn't do anything, so I figured hey battery. Well changed the battery and crunk it up, it acted like it was dying so I had to keep giving it fuel to keep the rpms up. I got home and turned it off and back on and it acted just fine but it seems like the rpms are a little high, any idea's? I am kinda afraid to drive it tomorrow since I work an hour away, the rpms going up and down btw was when the volt gauge was reading just fine and the lights werent dimming either..

check your coil packs and your spark plug wires maybe one of them popped off the plug and its acting funny..

I will give it a quick glance over, but it just doesn;t sound like it's missing, just the rpms were going real crazy anywhere from 300 to 700 back and forth.

When you changed out the battery the PCM has to do a little bit of learning before everything will settle in. Let it idle for a bit in your driveway and see how it acts.

I agree even with a fast swap of the battery the PCM will need to learn a little. It will lose some info period when the battery is removed.

ok I am going to go out and let it sit for a few mins, I figured that is was what was up, cause I mean it crunk right back up perfectly fine right after I got home.

Glad that's all it was. I've had it happen to me before after my car sat too long and I had to recharge the battery. Took a good 10 minutes or so before she was back to normal.
