Now that I have replaced my battery, my car's idle is low. It even stalled once.
When I first replaced the battery it was running crappy. No pickup, sputtering, etc. I did the TB calibration (pull power to ECU and turn on ignition for 2 min) and that fixed the problem. It's running well now but the idle is low. Is there antyhing I should try?

I'd pull a plug and see if it is fouled up. I'm not sure the pecking order of power,
but you might have been getting fuel and no spark and fouled the plugs...
Are you using new gas? Premium (duh)? I would first go rag on the car HARD, redline it a few times and see if it misses/stutters/etc. Then check the idle. My 2.8 would get a shaky idle when Frank used to have it as he never took the car above 3500rpm. Jorge used to 'fix' it by taking a drive to melborne and back and just beat on the right pedal.
