1997 5.2 won’t idle
Was working on my 1997 Ram and left the ignition switch on too long, running the battery down. After recharging the battery, the truck will only run at 1500 rpm and above. If I take my foot off the accelerator it cuts off. Any ideas.

Disconnect the battery, turn on the headlights, turn off the headlights, reconnect battery. Turn key to 'on', (not start) count to ten. (don't touch anything) Start the truck. It will figger things out fairly quickly.

Thank you sir! You may have saved me a trip to the mechanic.
