I would look for another dealer and maybe get them to talk to techline or something. If they don't help talk to someone higher up then the dealer.

i had the same problem with my 01' Eclipse GT. When i unhook the battery the idle gets really shaky for a couple days. I learned that the computer "forgets" all its information from the computer, so deffinetly check your battery to see if its loose or something. After a couple of days, my car runs just fine. So deff. check the battery connection

Removing the battery simply resets the ECU. Then it has to re learn everything.

First, what gas are you putting in the car?

dont wanna be a smart ass, but make sure you're running unleaded, and not ethanol/diesel. Running a tank of shell/bp 97 will definetly clean it out. I know this doesn't sound like good advice, but drive it. Take it down the interstate, and as you run it at about 60 - 70 mph, it will burn out most of that stuff, and as it is at a constant speed, you don't have to worry about the car dying out on you. If it does, then you could have water in the gas tank, or maybe someone doesn't like you, and put something in there. Just to clean out your injectors, I would drop in a quarter bottle of seafoam. It is an amazing cleaner. I know the car is new, but it does the same thing as an injector cleaner/octane booster. Should help.
