Everyone, Thank you for your suggestions. I have gotten it fixed! I read in a different thread that someone used a pocket scan. They found that there were two codes that had been set off. P2104 and P2112. They involve the throttle being forced idle and stuck closed. I used the pocket scan and erased the two codes. Instantly the engine sounded better and the car idled better.

Everyone, I am in need of any ideas. I just changed that battery on my 2006 Fusion. The old battery was still the original. We changed it and restarted the car and it took longer to start than it would usually and it idled poorly. We let it sit and then it bagan to idle better so we turned the ignition off. It was not run the next day and the next time that we started it again took longer and started slower than before. It idled hard but seemed to get better. It would shift into gear and rolled backward but when I got it to the street it would not go forward once it was shifted into drive. I have encountered the same issue as many other people in regards to the "engine coolant being below temperature". I do not know if this has anything to do with why it will not get its idle timing back. Thanks to anyone who might have some ideas that might help me get it back to running!
