New Alternator now idling rough - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yep I think you guys are right. Cranked her up this morning, idle good. Took a 15 mile ride to the store and back with brights on, wipers going and on the way back I added the defroster on high just to make sure she was charging. Think I am good. Cross my fingers as she is quickly approaching the 300,000 mile mark. Many of you probably don't remember buy a few years ago I posted where this car had to traverse basically a 4-wheel drive gravel road 4 miles up and 4 miles down a mountain in the Blue Ridge. Worst road in the county and she is still going. I moved from that house in September so her ride is easier now.

Yep. The same thing happened on my blue Yaris after a battery replacement. I posted about it and CTScott replied, writing to drive it around a bit because (as Wee Yari indicated above) the ECU needed to relearn the fuel trims.
