If question to me, no it did not. I think @Axxe55 found this on internet as possible source to try.Did it work?

Edit: saw your post above, yep it needs the relearn by tool.

I plan to call tomorrow morning and make a one way trip to somewhere to have reset. Sure miss the good old days with lots of room under the hood and no computers.
I'm going to check out 3 sources. Neighbor around the corner is former mechanic, but think he's on vacation. Going to walk the dog around the block and check. Guy across the street had mobile mechanic come to him a couple of weeks ago. Going to get his number and find out his fee and if he can do it. Lastly, I will drive it to a small shop a few miles away and see if they can do it (after calling of course). I hate cranking the engine over and having it hit those high rpm's while cold. Prefer if I can get someone reasonable to come to me.Try a local mechanic, it shouldn't cost you much and they'll be able to do it quickly if they're not too busy. I'd try to avoid a GM dealership, most good shops will have that tool. Avoid chain shops like Firestone etc. unless you happen to know they have a good mech.
The one they have will just read the codes. The one needed has the ability to manipulate the ECM (computer) to reset the idle and throttle. Had thought about buying one, but don't have the necessary 4-5K lying around. If I did, sure would get a nice thermal insteadSee if vatozone or o really's has the scanner in their loan a tool thingy.
Well. Dangit!The one they have will just read the codes. The one needed has the ability to manipulate the ECM (computer) to reset the idle and throttle. Had thought about buying one, but don't have the necessary 4-5K lying around. If I did, sure would get a nice thermal instead
Yes.Did you disconnect the battery while you did all this? Check all connections?

Road trip!Then they just have the glorified code reader scan tool. You need the "bi-directional" scan tool that can change different parameters within the ECM.
As Red Army mentioned, most decent auto repair shops should have one. Snap-On, Matco and Mac tools carry them. My brother has the older Snap-On scan tool at his shop.
Road trip!
I will give the hard reset a try. I only disconnected the negative throughout. Will pull them both.Well I would start with a hard reset, which is disconnecting both terminals and holding the negative and positive terminals together for at least 10 seconds. Neither touching the battery itself.
Also, it truly would never hurt to pull codes. You very well could have a vacuum leak. Last option would be a snap on on other scan tool with the relearn option .
