Engine died after changing battery?

Apparently it was time for a new battery after 5 years. I was getting some slow cranking in cold temperatures.

I replaced the battery today, and after I started the truck. It turned over no problem, but the engine immediately died, that’s never happened before.

I started it again, and it kept running as normal, I drove around for about 6-7 minutes and parked it.

Any ideas of why the engine just died like that, anti theft system? I also have an aftermarket alarm but I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it.

 

PFM. It did that. Toyota dealership said that it was normal.

 

This is normal. Will happen everytime you disconnect your battery. Something to do with the computer recalibrating.

 

Right on thanks, I was hoping it was normal.

 

Last week it took my 2nd gen over a 100 miles to relearn the idle settings, stalling every time I let the revs drop was a right pain in the butt, stalling in slow moving traffic on the interstate induced quite the string of cuss words!

 

Do you think I need to drive for a while to allow the ecu to relearn fuel mixture , shift points etc. I drove around for about 30 minutes and everything seems fine. Also when I bought the truck new it only had 5 miles on it, so wouldn’t it basically be the same senario.

 

Mine is older, almost certainly higher mileage and this time I managed to drive it for 30 miles before remembering that I hadn't tightened the airbox's hose clamp...
If the idle has settled down then yours should be fine, I think it was about 30 miles before mine was OK the previous time I let go the battery. I always assumed that mine takes longer because I only have a short distance before hitting the interstate and it doesn't get much idling opportunity on there.
