I replaced a foglight and disconnected the neg. Battery. Now the car dies at a stop or coming to a stop. I have driven it 75 miles since disconnecting the battery so it doesn't seem to be the computer resetting itself. It ran great before this.

You turned the computer stupid by doing this. It has to re learn to run and idle correctly.

I thought that might be the problem but shouldn't it have corrected in over 75 miles of driving?
