Quick & Easy steps to fix your car's rough idle problem. When you disconnect or replace your car battery the car will probably idle rough. You need to put your car in Idle Relearn / Reset Mode to reset your car's computer idle fuel mix. This is a very easy process with great results. No tools needed. You may also have to do this when you work on the car's throttle body or alternator.
In this video you will see the drastic change this procedure made on a Toyota Camry and it should also work on your Toyota, Lexus, Scion and other similar models.

After cleaning the MAF and throttle body car was idling high and check engine light came on; car was running REALLY rough. I tried this then my car would not start. Waited a few minutes then it started and now runs great. My car has 224,000+ miles and is much needed for traveling to medical appointments. I cannot tell you how grateful I am. Thank you VERY much. 😊

I replaced the battery on my 2003 Camry which I’ve done several times before but this time my vehicle had all the symptoms of this video. I had an auto parts store check my alternator and they told me I needed a new alternator. Anyhow I found your video and I followed all the steps and now it runs perfectly! (No new alternator needed) Thank you for posting.

Cleaned and tightened it really tight and tried again and car turned on but same problem as before, very rough idle. Did this again and I’m good to go.
