Default Idle shut off problems

I have a 2003 Camry 2.4L 2AZ-FE, with 150k miles. A few weeks ago I unhooked the battery to clean the terminals, when I reconnected the battery I cranked my car, which was cold by now, and it started up fine, but once it started to warm up, it began to idle low and then shut off. I turned my car off and restarted it, only to have it shut off again. The only way to keep it cranked is to rev the engine a little bit. I have no problems with it while it is driving, or when it is idling cold, but once the engine warms up it shuts off. Any thoughts!!

This is a common problem with these models.

Suggest for now you just keep driving, the problem typically works it self out on its own.

The computer seems to have an issue with battery being disconnected and needs to readjust.
