Default cam install is done, but i hv a few questions

well im finally done!! engine fired right up, oil psi good, i have a SES light, im assumming it probably throwing a misfire code( saya thats common on ls1howto), and she dont like to idle. How long will it take to learn its idle? ita a DBW, im going to see wheatley monday, but wanted to know if there is anyway to get it to idle on its own

you can un-plug the battery for a few minutes and then plug it back in and let it re-learn the idle but I doubt if it will help much. May just have to drive with 2 feet for a few days.
