Default 2000 Civic DX Idle problem

I just changed the oil + filter + air filter, and I noticed that there was a lot of battery corrosion, so I disconnected the battery cable and cleaned it! Now when I drive at idle it shakes and feels like it wants to shut off. It never did this before! Do I need to reset the ECU? And if so, how will I perform this.

Thanks
Louie

disconnect the battery again to reset the ecu, or you can pull a fuse from the egine fuse box next to the battery, it's a 7.5 amp i believe, not 100% sure

Ok, I will give it a try. I also heard that after reseting, that I need to hold the rpm's arond 2000 for 1-2 minutes!
