My turn.. car won't start after changing plugs/coils

When you put in the new battery or put the jumper cables on her, you will need to reset the alarm.

Yeah, I know.. right now my alarm doesn't even work anyway.

Is it possible the alarm is causing the starter cutout? (Did you get it to crank over yet, even if it doesn't start?)

I just got home, but was able to take my battery to Advance. They said that they did a full charge on it twice, but that it was definitely dead. So, I got a replacement for free (gotta love warranties). It's raining now, but will hopefully find out if this was where the issue lied, so far it looks like it.

Planning to do it tomorrow, I thought I'd have a chance today but we went to Petsmart and adopted a cat, so we had to get everything we needed for her and didn't get home until after dark.

Okay, put the battery in and it started fine. It took a while to get it that way, had to lock/unlock, then it tried to start once (had a quick shh sound) and didn't so I took off the neg cable, put it back on, did everything all over again and it started right up. It's still idling high, so I may clean the EGR and look in my shop manual, maybe the little screw on the throttle body needs tightened a bit more.. I had to do it once before when I got the car back from the shop (it was idling at 2500K).
