Default Reset computer ??????

Just swapped out the motor on a 93 grand and it had been sitting for a while without a battery, the grand not the motor. How do you reset the computer on this thing. I can't get it to idle for more than 30 seconds and it dies. Help please.

Just start it and keep your foot on the gas enough to keep it running, it will relearn in a few minutes.
