Wondering Idle.....intermittent
Is it possible that I have a dying battery(s)....I have noticed that I have a slight wandering idle.....just a thought.

You might have a dying batery, but that is not a problem that would manifest itself as an idle problem. That is more likely a glitch in the ICP, or IPR, or it cold be the condition/age of the oil.
