Default low idle

hey h-t,

i recently changed my radiator my ep3, while waiting for the new radiator to come in my car sat for a week. today i install the new radiator in, but now my idle is very low. it feels like it wants to stall. when i turn the key to the "on" position the Check engine light would stay on then flashes five times and turns off. is this that normal? please help me. thank you

is your car over heating at all? did you disconnect the battery during the install?

the car is just sitting there. i didn't drive it because of the idle problem. i took out the battery to clear the ecu, after that i did the re-learn. but the problem is still there. does anyone know why the CEL flashes. i check to see if there was not code stored in the ecu but there wasnt any.
