Default idle problem

ok, lets just see how smart you guys really are, I have a 2001 roadking police, kept wanting to die on me,took it to the dealer, after hooking it up to the computer they said it was the idle or throttle module, , so of course I said fix it, so after installing this new item, they said when they start it up it keeps reverting back to historical values and wont let them program the new module, they have had it for a week, got to be someone out here that knows the answer to it. my own thoughts,I do know computers, better than I know bikes,but with computers, I know that you have to unplug it for 10 minutes or so,so it will dump memory, then install new item and plug it back in, may be the same with this,not sure if they took battery cables off before installing. anyone got any ideas on this ? I want my baby back
