Recently my wife's car batter died, end of life. When a new battery was put in it the car ran poorly. Apparently when the battery dies something in the car resets and the car "figures" out the settings again and runs rough at idle. We called a repair shop and they said to just wait a few days and it will fix itself. Which was true, runs fine now. The moral of the story is that with a new car if the battery dies, weird things happen.
- URSpider94 11y agoYup, I've experienced this.
- facetube 11y agoI've experienced this too. On a year 2000 Toyota with a couple hundred thousand miles on it, battery removal literally makes the car not know how to move for 10-15 minutes. The manual says that the car adapts to "driving style" and engine age/performance; it apparently gets to relearn all of that in a hurry after a reset. TL;DR: The car wakes up with amnesia and has to discover for itself that it's old.
