i just changed my battery and the idle dropped, what could be the problem? car also shakes more in D (automatic)
i tried resetting the ecu but that did not work (take neg off for a minute, put it back, let idle for 5 mins).

You didn't accidentally disconnect any vacuum hoses or anything?

Have ur engine running and pull the dipstick out and put ur finger on the hole, should be sucking, if stick isnt there it idles roughly

i think u can also get a mechanic to reset ur idle. shaking probably due to the lower idle as u mentioned.
