Sounds like a vacuum line is disconnected. Check all the vacuum lines for cracks and if they are attached properly.

Vacuum leak for sure. You can also try cleaning out the IACV, too.

On an OBDII, after disconnecting the battery you need to run for a while to recalibrate the computer. Then it will settle down.
