drop my car of 2 weeks ago for the recall they had the car for 7 days once i get to dealership i had to wait an hour for them to pull the car up to the front, the guy said the car wasn't turning on, i dont know if they left the car unplug or they left something on and it killed my battery, once i got the car back i started driving home, once the car was all the way warmed up i notice my idle wasn't as smooth as before, when the car is in gear it idles at 500 and when the fan comes on it shakes a lil and drops to 400, i call my advisor i explain to him my problem, he said because the battery was unplugged it take few miles for the car to relearn how to idle, so i kept on driving, next day it was doing the same thing this time behind the light the rpm kept going from 500 to 600 jumping up and down i did lot of research, few said it could be the battery going bad tested the battery and the battery puts out 14.1 while driving, than i look on CL and found this tech tip

I'd start by giving it a few more days, as it takes a little while for all of the system to re-learn everything. I can tell you this though...after I got mine back from the cam gear recall, I disconnected the battery again. Let it sit for 10 minutes to idle, and then took it out for a 20 minute drive for it to re-learn my driving style. All as well thereafter.

I got my car done last week, I link the way it quite now when start the car ( no rattle or metal clunk noise) but I press the gas pedal down like 5k rpm and the engine feel like hestitage? No goes just like it stall? Anyone has this problem?

^That hestitation is the "new way" the car re-learned to shift. Disconnect the battery for 30 minute, then re-connect and go out and drive like you would. I force mine to re-learn hard downshifts in 6th gear down to 3rd or fourth about 10 times. After that, it's usually good-to-go thereafter.

I didn't have to do any of that. My car runs the same after.

Recall went totally fine for me. I drove it home from the recall and the next time I drove it, it was hauling *** around a track.

The suggestions here are solid.

i just got mines done last week ... when i try to gun it, it doesn't pick up like it did .. couple of days after the recall, i drove from dallas to houston hitting between 90-110 "majority" of the time and it doesn't seem to pick up like it did prior to the recall .... had a tech from the lexus dealership check it out and he said it "looks" good ...

Did mine about a month ago, and all is well so far. But keeping my fingers crossed!!!
Good info though.

2 days after my recall was completed it got a good test at the track. Nothing like 90 min at redline for a checkout. Knocked 3 seconds off my lap time. New coilovers and sticky tires probably helped though. I did see a wopping 7.1 mpg for that tank though.
