Default Swapped battery now I have to floor it to go idle speed

Had a REALLY hard time getting it to start on. When I finally did, I tried to back out of my spot as soon as I hit the gas it dies. IF I start it while flooring it, it takes off like normal for about half a second then struggles to go idle speed. Any thing less than flooring it and it stalls BUT when parked in N it idles somewhat regularly. Completely lost. Specs in sig.

Thats exactly what I was thinking but I literally cant drive it... If I let it idle for a while will I get the same results?

nope, you gotta drive it. but it may be so difficult for you cause it mightve messed up something in the emanage like possibly reset it too. (i have no experience with management systems so dont quote me. )

Actually you need to let your throttle body reset. 1st, turn the car all the way on without actually starting it and let it sit for about ten seconds(make sure ac is off). 2nd, after ten seconds start the car and let it run for 10 min. This very thing happened to my car when i was installing some led lights in my car. every time you disconnect the battery you need to perform this reset for the throttle body.

Default UPDATE

I changed the plugs (which is something I had planned to do and Im sure had nothing to due with my issues. then managed to drive around the block. Each lap it felt better and better. I even started getting into boost. Appears as though the problem has solved itself. Im going to go ahead and say the ECU needed to relearn everything and now its on the same page as the rest of the car.

Thanks for all the replies. Even when someone doesnt have the exact solution; its nice to know people are trying to help.
