OK. Did the new battery thing. (NAPA #7548, $114 + tax) Sorry to say the throttle problems remain, although I'm back to original issue: 1500 RPM idle until the wheels come to a complete stop. Then it's normal. At least I haven't had the EPS light issue again.
By the way, the throttle system is
not covered by the powertrain warranty. It only covers "things that touch oil" plus the water pump according to the dealership service man. So I'm going to live with the high idle while the car is moving and wait for further developments.
