Well my dad drove my car back from Lexington (about 200 miles) last week. For some reason you can pull my key out of the ignition no matter what postion its in. Well he took the key out while it was in the first position (when the radio and a/c work). This of course killed my battery and its been sitting like this until today. Well once I got the battery jumped the car started fine like normal, ideled roughly for a few mins. then just died for no reason. I tried to start it again and it acted like it wanted to start for a second then wouldn't. I kept on and it didnt even act like it wanted to start now.

so next I put in another battey I have and it started again. It ran for a min. or 2 and then died again. Again it wouldn't start. So I put my old battery in and it went through the same process.

Is this something with my computer?? Because I even just took the battery cables off for a few mins without swaping batterys and it started again, as if resetting the computer.

I tryed searching for a similar problem, but couldn't find anything.
 
If you were near an adaptive limit, several sensors might have been compensating before. Now with a fresh re-learn, the computer cannot compensate.

I would clean the IAC. Then if it still acts up, I might hold the throttle after it starts (to keep it idling). This wont help the IAC issue (because you're crutching it) but getting some run time can help with the issue if it a given sensor is off across the board.

After some run-time, I'd see if there are any hard or soft codes stored.

Good luck.
