My car is loosing idle after taking out the battery. It has been replaced as it stalled and then died completely. The car idles irregular then eventually fixes itself to a normal idle? What causes this?

Check the idle control motor, you can clean them, but often they will need replacing, also a scan will help with checking for any unresolved fault codes that may need attention as well.
