Okay so when I go to start my car I have to turn the key several times before it will even start trying to crank and when it does the car starts up perfectly. But when I go to drive my car for the first maybe 10 feet it REALLY acts like it's not getting enough fuel. My car ilde surges again after it stopped doing it for about a month. This all literally happened at one time after my car was off with the battery removed for a couple days will I was getting brakes and a rotor ordered.
 
That has been happening to me with my tranny limp mode issue. I'm still sorting that out. I found that you have to let the computer learn everything again after it has been reset. Roll down the driver side window. Disconnect the battery for about 15 mins then reconnect. Reach in the driver window and start the car and let it run for about 15 more minutes. That helped me. The dealer said that the car will check sensors and what not when it has had the battery disconnected for an extended period of time. When it is learning you cannot push the brakes or use anything that draws current. It isn't necessary to do all the window BS but he said it is a sure fire way for it to learn correctly.
 
Thanks for the post. I'll try it out and let you know how it goes.
