It's something that happens with all first gen Vibes. It sorts itself after 60 miles or so. The engine feels like it will stall, but it won't.

I had the battery disconnected when I did some work on the Vibe last year (the list included replacing the timing chain tensioner.) I have to say it kinda scared me with how rough it ran at first, my mind instantly went to somehow I managed to knock the timing off on the thing. Then I thought about the relearn...
