my freind unlocked my talon from the inside with the windows half way rolled down, and the stock alarm started going off, well i popped hood and disconnected battery because i do not have the keychain thing for the alarm... well i plug battery back in and start it up to go get lunch and at a red light the tac was bouning off the first line right before it was about to stall, i had to keep reviung it to keep it running, but i let it fall and it wouldnt stall... it would stay at the last line and bounce off. i dont know whats going on, and when i got back to work it was idleing fine, i havent gone out again to test it and my boss was yelling CRANKWALK... so i am getting sad so cheer me up and tell that its my comp re-setting or something please.
 
Mine does the same thing each time the battery is unplugged for a while. Yes, it's just the ECU starting from scratch and slowly fine tuning things. It should be normal after a day or so.
