I am having the same problem, I didn't drive the TC for a couple of days and now I get a CEL flashing only when I accelerate.

I wil check the MAF sensor first, then, try to get the code for the CEL, but I am not sure if the CEL gets stored in a memory if it's not constantly on.

When you unplug the battery, the ECU is reset and the car has to relearn the idle RPM. I've had the car die on me while relearning. You just have to keep it alive long enough for it to realize where to idle.

Well, I believe this is a good suggestion...
