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.

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