My CEL came on and I had to go the dealer to reset it due to the oil cap. The motor was surging and idling high just before the CEL came on.

Sorry Andy, I thought that I indicated that the problem was resolved a few posts ago.
Pretty much the basic issue where the ECU wasn't ready due to the dead battery. The next time I started it, even with the dead battery still in place, I let it sit with the key on for a couple of minutes before starting up. After that it ran fine.
Just finishing up the new battery install, fuel filter change, air filter change, and ISV cleaning, hopefully won't have any issues afterwards.

After all the oil change,new battery install, fuel filter change (OMG that was a tight fit)), air filter change, and ISV cleaning, took it for a spin and ran great. Only issue is that after warming up the idle seems a little high - around 900-950. Hopefully this will settle down with a little more use.
