cleaned battery cable ends

well i had to clean my battery cable ends today, they were really corroded. after i cleaned everything up, took about 1/2 hour, i hooked everything back up and now, when my truck is cold, it starts but then stumbles all over the place. the IAC was under warranty so i took it back, well its doing the same thing, but only when its cold. all i can figure i did by cleaning the cable ends was to have the battery disconnected for 1/2 hour so that would of cleared any codes. i just cant see how this would cause my engine to start and surge up and down when cold. what am i over looking here.

Posted on your other forum thread. Normal, unless other problems are contributing to the usual drivability issues experienced while the KAM rebuilding. What codes did you have?
