    Just because it's a brand new battery doesn't mean that it can't be bad. Most battery stores & auto parts stores will check it for you.

    Well, I used 1/2 of a jumper cable set to connect the Battery post to the exhaust manifold (ground) and everything worked.
    I then went to the local stereo installer and had them cut about 3" off the ground cables and put new ends on. $20. min. charge.
    Gremlins GONE! Even the idle is normal.
    If anyone looked at the service bulletins just posted, one had to do with a poor ground connection under the dash. Amazing the level of faults just that one connection listed.
    Anyway, I'm a happy camper again
