    After reconnecting my battery the engine dies upon first start. Then no problems.

    Tried it twice and same thing.

    What's up with that? Weird.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    I recently cleaned my posts and terminals and added anti corrosion pads. My '15 4.0 did the same thing when I started her

    Takes a second to relearn the idle point on an electronic throttle. It is defaulting to factory "clean" TB settings. Doesn't take into account the crud that has built up and compensated for over time at first
