The car ran OK before the work, right? After reassembly, the car runs rough, right? Lots of parts had to be removed/disconnected in order to install the rear main seal and replace the oil pan (perhaps the engine was pulled? sub-frame dropped?) BTW, I hope they replaced the O ring on the oil pick-up tube while they had the pan off...

I'm going out on a limb here, but I'll go with the assumtion that something was just not hooked back up right. Also, the mechanic who spoke of the computer needing to "re-learn" how to idle properly is mis-informed. Too bad you had to buy an idle control motor for nothing.

Good Luck
