Well,i have read 2 similiar but slightly different ways to do it.You start the car and let it run until the fan comes on.Then wait until it comes on again and cut the car off.Idle relearn has been achieved.Now the way this differs is one way says to keep your foot on the brake with the car in gear and the way i do it is with the car in park.My accumulator is bad and i have to do it that way.I have done it this way 4 times with no problems.

correct idle re-learn procedure

1. Reset ECM by pulling ECM fuse (underhood) for at least 30 seconds.
2. With A/C turned off, start car and immediately put it in Drive with your foot on the brake.
3. If the car does not start initially, keep trying WITHOUT putting your foot on the accelerator.
4. Let the car idle in gear for at least 5 and no more than 7 minutes.
5. Shut off the car for 10 seconds.
6. Start engine, place in drive and let idle for 5 minutes.
7. Shut off engine.
8. Idle is learned.

That procedure worked for me. ;)
