A few days ago I went to start my car and it would not start. Turned over a few times...but never started. So thinking it was the battery, I replaced it. Now it starts-but as soon as you do, it idles really high-aroun 2000 rpm's and smells like pure gasoline...it then idles hard and heavy and acts like it want to die? Any ideas?

Clean out the idle air control valve and see what happens, also the computer might be going thru relearning the idle speed.
