Default "99 Audi A6 2.8 non-turbo quattro idle problems

I'm sorry but I've tried to scour the website before i posted but couldn't find what i was looking for.

My battery died a couple days ago so I jumped it. Once I jumped it it started bouncing the RPM between 1-2k and wouldn't drive over 10-15 mph. I have a link to my Youtube vid I uploaded showing the problem. I've read everything from throttle body,vacuum, fuel, etc.

I have no idea so I had the codes pulled at Autozone

P1545
P1426

were the two codes that popped up. I'm moving to Orlando at the end of the month and haven't had a problem until now. I desperately need help. I can take video of anything you might need to see.

An amount of bouncing idle is normal if the battery has been disconnected. The car is in relearn mode. You need to do a throttle position alignment though. Disconnect the battery again for an hour or so, then hook it up, turn the key on (but don't start the car), and let it sit for about five minutes. If you have the hood open and listen, at the back of the motor you'll hear a high-pitched hum. That's the TPS aligning itself. Once the hum stops, you can start the car.

It'll take a little time to smooth out but it will happen.
