Default Replaced O2 sensor now car acting up!

I had my O2 sensor (front right pre cat) installed today. Installer disconnected battery, and now they are having problems getting it to run well. Took a step backwards! They tell me it is trying to re-learn everything.

Opinions anyone?

They need to do a throttle body adaptation.
I would get the car away from them. They should NOT have to disconnect the battery to change an oxygen sensor.

The throttle body could not be adapted, because the idiots burnt out my throttle body and they're going to pay for it. I had an Indy Audi Shop in Wilmington take care of it for me. Runs like new again.

Thanks for your help!
