Default everytime I take out the battery is my ECU reset?

I took out the battery to get it recharged and now my idle is all weird and cuts out. Last time I took out the battery the same thing happened. Idle would drop down and sometimes die

when u change the battery it will reset, unless you connect to a backup battery while replacing the battery but thats just stupid and waste of time if youre trying to avoid reprogramming your radio presets

yes, you should reset the ecu whenever you add or remove something like i/h/e/etc....

That's a myth that won't die.

F$CK my car runs like **** now. Idle used to be perfect now it's almost dying when I come to a complete stop. I hope the ECU adjust soon because this really sucks

are you just kidding?

I dont think that just because you reset your ECU your car is going to die. Maybe you have the wrong ECU?
