Yes, you have to disconnect the battery to reset the pcm, so it can learn the base values for the new parts.

Start it up, keep it idling with your right foot for a couple minutes, then see if it will idle on its own.

If cleaning the IAC doesn't help....test it per service manual and see if it is good. There can be one of tow (or two of two) problems. It can be dirty, it can be broken, or it could be both!
