I changedthe battery on a 2002 Camry, now the idle runsroughfor a few seconds then shuts off. As if the idle needs to be turned up or the car is running out of gas.[/align]But if I press the gas pedal before it shuts off the car will stay on andit will idle fine atall speeds of the pressed pedal.As long as I keep the pedal pressed down the car will stay on.[/align]Does anything need to be reset? What happened and how can I fix it? Thank you all for your much needed help.[/align]

 

If a 4 cylinder the 2002 may have an electric throttle. The computer controls the throttle plate, not the gas pedal.

Removing the battery may have reset the computer.

Try driving the car around for about 15 miles combo hwy/city and determining if the problem goes away.

If no help, reset the computer again by removing the cable then immediately after starting do the combo city/hwy drive of the same miles.

 

Thank you Toyomoho for your help.I finally got the chance to drive the car becauseI have two cars to fix and was working on the other one, whichyour helping me on too, it's the 92 Camry thermostat.But thanks to you, one down one to go. I drove the car just like you said andit started to work after 15 miles andworked like new after 20.The car is fine now.
Thank you Toyomoho for all your help![/align]
