Classic symptom of a weak battery or bad battery connections. Seeing that you said your battery went dead, it's probably the culprit.

i would look at the IAC motor first, take it out, clean it and put it back in, if that doesnt work you can replace it (they are not expensive).

+1. Everytime I lose my battery, I get the idle issue. Reset the PCM and all is well.
