Additionally, I have found that it is required to shut off the engine before you do anything else, like drive it around the block. In other words, at the end of the above procedure, turn off the engine.

I usually do "all that" but then I do drive it... I find it still runs a little funny until it sees a WOT event. At the first stop light she's found out what she needs to know. IIRC I thought there was something that said you should drive it somewhere between 30-90 seconds after you fire it up and the idle settles down...

I'd say use that search button...
