Did you let it run the idle learn procedure after you re-connected the battery?

1 - When unplugging the battery and resetting the ecu, let the car sit for ten minutes with no negative battery cable connected. Reconnect the cable and then start the car. Let the car idle for 10-15 minutes in park, or 3 cooling fan cycles .. although the cooling fan will probably not come on in the fall. so wait 10-15 minutes.

2 - No. Just unplug the battery and try it.

A moot issue as the intake is pre-TB and not subject to vacuum.
